Question

Which shows two expressions that are equivalent to (–7)(–15)(–5)? (–7)(–75) and (–1)(525) (–1)(525) and (35)(–15) (35)(–15) and (115)(–5) (–1)(525) and (115)(–5)

Answer 1

well -7*-15*-5= -525. so then you multiply each of the problems then you will receive your answer which will be 35*-15

Answer 2

(-1)(525) and (35)(-15)

Explanation:

Here, the given expression is,

(-7)(-15)(-5),

Since, (-7)(-15)(-5) = -525 ( Because, (-) × (-) × (-) = (-) )

First option,

(-7)(-75) and (-1)(525)

= 525 and -525 ( Because, (-) × (-) = (+) and (-) × (+) = (-) )

⇒(-7)(-75) ≠ (-7)(-15)(-5)

Second option,

(-1)(525) and (35)(-15)

= -525 and -525,

Thus, (-1)(525) = (35)(-15) = (-7)(-15)(-5)

Third option,

(35)(-15) and (115)(-5)

= -525 and -575

⇒ -575 ≠ (-7)(-15)(-5)

Fourth option,

(-1)(525) and (115)(-5)

= -525 and -575

(115)(-5) ≠ (-7)(-15)(-5)

Hence, (-1)(525) and (35)(-15) are equivalent to the given expression.
