Question

Find each product or quotient.

$-15\left(-2\right)$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The product is 30.

Step 1. Apply the product rule.

The product of two integers with the same sign is always positive. 

The product of two integers with opposite signs is always negative.

Step 2. For example.

If –x is multiplied by –y then their product will be xy.

Step 3. Calculate the product.

In the given product, observe that both the numbers are negative, so their product will be positive.

$-15\left(-2\right)=30$

Therefore, the product of the given integer is 30.
