You lose 2 points every time you forget to write your name on a test. You have forgotten to write your name 4 times. What integer represents your change in points from forgetting to write your name?

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation: since it says Times, (for me times is multiplication) you would multiply -2 and 4. negative 2 would be from that person losing 2 points. and 4 since it is your total amount of times you have forgotten to write your name. so, -2 x 4 = -8.

how i got -8. both signs from -2 and 4 are different, and when they are different the answer will always be negative.
