Hey there!


Remember: \\ \\ \\ +,+ = + \\ \\ -,- = + \\ \\ -,+ = - \\ \\ +,- = -

The line (
| ) that's surround the number
9 in this
equation is like a
multiplication symbol

We have:
negative and
positive so, that means your result will be a
negative

We can remove:
C and
D because they are
incorrect

For
B that would be your answer if you're
subtracting


-2(9) = -18

So, therefore your answer would most likely be:
-18

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
