Hi there!

Yes,

To find the answer you must simplifly the two equation terms which means that if you turn it around you’ll still find the same answer which also means that the product -2x³+x-5 and x³-3x-4 is equal to the product x³-3x-4 and -2x³+x-5..

This is also the commutative property of multiplication.

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

The commutative property of multiplication states that you can switch the order of the numbers you are multiplying.

So, (-2x^3 + x - 5)(x^3 - 3x -4) = (x^3 - 3x -4)(-2x^3 + x - 5)

the answer does not change just because the order of the numbers switches.
