Question

(−1)(−17)(−15) = ____________
a 255 255
b 235 235
c −235 −235
d−255

Answer 1

To find the product of (-1)(-17)(-15), we multiply the first two numbers to get 17, then multiply this result by -15 to get -255.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is (-1)(-17)(-15). To solve this, we apply the rules for multiplying negative numbers. Multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive result, while multiplying a positive by a negative gives a negative result. First, we multiply the first two numbers:

• (-1) × (-17) = 17

Now we have a positive 17 to multiply with the last negative number:

• 17 × (-15) = -255

Therefore, the solution to the expression (-1)(-17)(-15) is -255.
