Question

Which shows two expressions that are equivalent to (- 8) (- 12) (2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Keep in mind that a negative multiplied by a negative is positive, and that a postive times a negative is a negative.

With this in mind the first expression -8*-12*2 will be a postive 192.

A is incorrect because -92*2 will be negative.

B is incorrect because -1*192 will be negative.

C is incorrect because -96*2 will be negative.

Answer 2

Answer: D (-8)(-24) and (-16)(-12)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first expression is equivalent to 192

Therefore, both must be positive which eliminates answer A, B, and C

Therefore the answer must be D

8x24 = 192

16x12=192
