Question

The simplified value of the expression $-14.1\left(-2.9\right)$.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The simplified value of the expression $-14.1\left(-2.9\right)$ is $40.89$.

Step 1. Given

The expression $-14.1\left(-2.9\right)$.

Step 2. Concept.

Product of two real numbers is obtained when they are multiplied together. That is two or more numbers are separated by multiplication signs $( ), \times or ·.$

 

The product of two negative integers is always positive.

Step 3. Calculation.

Consider the expression $-14.1\left(-2.9\right)$.

 

Recall that product of two real numbers is obtained when they are multiplied together. That is two or more numbers are separated by multiplication signs $\left(\right),\times \mathrm{or}·$.

 

Simplify it,

$-14.1\left(-2.9\right)=+\left(14.1·2.9\right)$ 

                      $=40.89$         

Thus, the simplified value of the expression $-14.1\left(-2.9\right)$ is $40.89$.
