Answer:

(-12)×(-13)×(-5)=-12*-13*-5

Multiplication is commutative

Commutative multiplication means you can change the order of the factors without changing the product.

we can do -12*-13 = 156

then 156*-5=-780

we can do (-12*-5)=60

then 60*-13=-780

you can do (-13*-5)= 80

then 80*-12= -780

there is no real step, the only important thing is the sign, there is an odd number of -, the product will be -.
