If you want to use integer tiles to find the product of 2(-5), think of it as you having 2 groups of 5 negative tiles, that is
-1 -1
-1 -1
-1 -1
-1 -1
-1 -1
Think of it as you having each of the -1 inside it's distinct tile. Now adding up these tiles you have -10.
Therefore 2(-5) is -10 using integer tiles.
If we are to use the number line, first draw your number line, then think of it as jumping twice while each jump is -5 big.
So the first jump from 0 will land on -5 and the second jump will land on -10 and that is the required answer using the number line.

The closest would be 7
7x7 is 49 and that is the closest
14 because you started with 2 and you have 7 weeks in a month. So 2*7=14
Answer:
This is because to square a number just means to multiply it by itself. For example, (-2) squared is (-2)(-2) = 4. Note that this is positive because when you multiply two negative numbers you get a positive result.
