Answer:

The product (–5)(–3)(–8)(–6) should be Positive.

Explanation:

The product of 2 negative numbers equal a positive product.

N * N = P

-5*-3=15

-8*-6=48

The product of 2 positive numbers is positive.

P * P = P

15 * 48 = 720

Your answer should be: Positive because the products (–5)(–3) and (–8)(–6) are positive, and the product of two positive numbers is positive.
