Question

Can you help me simplify: (7)(-6)

Answer 1

To simplify (7)(-6)
You have to remember the rules to multiplying with negative and positive fractions. 

Some rules are. 
- = negative 
+ = positive

- x - = + 
+ x + = + 
- x + = - 

So we know that 7 x 6 = 42 
But our -6 makes it -42

7 x -6 = -42 

So your answer is -42 

Good Luck! :)
