Explain how to multiply two numbers with different signs.
(This is not a multiple-choice question)

Answer 1

Whenever you multiply two numbers with different signs, the answer is always NEGATIVE.

Answer 2

multiply the magnitudes of the numbers; affix a negative sign.

Explanation:

The product of a positive number and a negative number is the negative of the product of their numerical values.

For example, ...

(2)(-3) = -(2×3) = -6

(-2)(3) = -(2×3) = -6
