Answer:

Wrong.

Explanation:

First of all, I will say he's wrong

Then I'll tell the answer to each question

-7 x 5 = -35

7 x 5 = 35

Then I'll explain to him why: Because if your multiplying or dividing different signs will be negative. But multiplying the same signs results the answer in postive
