Question

What is the value of the expression
−2⋅(−9)⋅(−8)?

Answer 1

If that’s a multiplication problem, your answer would be -144!

Answer 2

Note that:

- when you multiply two negatives together, the answer will be positive
- when you multiply one positive number and one negative, the answer will be negative.

-2 x -9 = 18

18 x - 8 = -144

-144 is your answer

hope this helps
