Carla says that (-5)(-7) = -35, but she is incorrect. What is one change you can
make to Carla's equation to make it correct? Explain your reasoning.

You can either make -5 or -7 positive numbers meaning either make it (5)(-7) or (-5)(7). Two negative numbers multiplied together make a positive number.

Hope this helps!
