Question

How to I get the answer? (-6)(-2)+(+8)(-4)=

Answer 1

Step 1. The expression that we have is:

`\left(-6\right)\left(-2\right)+\left(+8\right)\left(-4\right)`

And we need to solve the operations to find the answer.

Step 2. We need to make the multiplications first:

(-6)(-2)=12

and

(+8)(-4)=-32

here we have applied the law of signs:

`\begin{gathered} (-)(-)=+ \\ (+)(-)=- \end{gathered}`

The solution to the multiplications is shown here:

The expression now is:

`12+(-32)`

Step 3. Now we solve the expression considering that

(+)(-) is -

`12-32`

The result of the subtraction is:

`-20`

Answer:

`-20`
