Answer: a) -27, b) 35, c) 14
Explanation:
a) When a positive number is multiplied by a negative number, your answer is negative, and since we know that 9 × 3 = 27, and that this figure has to be negative (since 9 is negative), the answer is -27.
b) Multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive number, and since 7 × 5 = 35, the answer is positive 35 (as both 7 and 5 in the original question are negative).
c) Follows just like b.
