Answer 1

According to Question
(–2) + (–2) + (–2) + (–2). we have to write sum as product, so

(–2) . (–2) . (–2) . (–2).
So multiplying all 2 we get 16

Answer 2

Option A; -8 is correct

Explanation:

We have given an expression:

(-2)+(-2)+(-2)+(-2)

Taking common factor (-2) from the above expression we will get

(-2)[1+1+1+1]

Now, simplify the above expression we will get

(-2)[4]

Now, after further simplification we will get

-8

Therefore, Option A; -8 is correct
