Q12. - Algebra 1

Question

Find each product or quotient.

$-12\left(15\right)$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The product of numbers is –180.

Step 1. Determine the sign of the result.

Since –12 and 15 have opposite signs, so the result will be negative.

Step 2. Multiply the numbers.

We know that $12\times 15=180$. 

Step 3. Derive the final answer.

Using step 2 we get: $-12\left(15\right)=-(12\times 15)=-180$
