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.
Answer:
x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Take out common factor
The factor inside the parenthesis cannot be factored
Since there is a common factor that we pulled out of the original equation,
set that x equal to zero and solve
: Therefore x = 0
