The answer is -14.95

We know that a negative multiplied by a positive will still be a negative, so one thing we know is that the outcome is negative. -(2.3 x 6.5). To make it easier, we could multiply these numbers by 10 to get rid of the decimals and divide them by 10 at the end of the solution, so we get -(23 x 65). 3 x 65 = 195, and 20 x 65 = 1300. -(195 + 1300) = -1495. Since we multiplied two numbers by 10, we have to divide by 100. -1495/100 = -14.95. The answer is -14.95. Or you could simply use a calculator :)
