Answer:
D: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The Main Rules Are:
1) A negative number times a negative number is a positive number.
2) A positive number times a positive number is a positive number.
3) A negative number times a positive number is a negative number.
This problem is read as negative 1 times negative 6. Any negative symbol in front of a parentheses would be read as negative 1. In other words, the problem reads -1(-6). Remember, a negative number times a negative number is a positive number. Multiplying negatives is no different than multiplying numbers greater than zero, you just change the sign of the answer. Lets read this as 1 times 6 which is 6. Therefore, -1 times -6 is 6.
Hope that helped, as well as explained the concept :)
