Question

Find the product: (-8)(-6) =

Answer 1

+48 or just 48 as the minus signs as they are multiplied they are cancelled and then we are left with 6 x 8 that is 48

Answer 2

Hi! (-8)(-6) can also be written as -8 × -6. Ignore the negative signs for now.

8 × 6 = 48.

When two negative numbers are multiplied together, the answer is always positive. Think of it as two negative signs (-) make a positive sign (×) when put together.

The answer is -48.
