Question

Find the product -10 x (-12)

Answer 1

120

Explanation:

The rules of multiplication state, that when there are two negatives being multiplied by each other, they become positive. You will multiply -10 x -12, and since there are two negatives, they cancel out.

Now it becomes simple multiplication. Simply multiply 10 x 12, without the negatives since they have been canceled out.

-10 x (-12) = 120

Answer 2

x²-6x-72

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+6)(x-12)

(x×x)-(x×12)+(6×x)-(6×12)

x²-12x+6x-72

x²-6x-72
