Answer:
apply another negative to either -3, -8, or -24.
step by step explaination
you already have that
(-3) * (-8) is not -24
then what is it?
(-3) * (-8) = 24
the difference is that 24 is positive instead of negative
to reverse this, you can apply another negative in this equation (because its multiplication you can apply it anywhere)
if apply negative to 24
then (-3) * (-8) = -(-24)
(-3) * (-8) = 24
which is true!!
you can do this with -3 or -8 too
-(-3) * (-8) = -24
3* -8= -24 is true
(-3) * -(-8) = -24
-3* 8 =-24 is true
hope this helps !
