Question

What is -2 x 3 i do not understand this and this is my last problem

Answer 1

-6

Explanation:

When you multiply a positive number by another positive number, you will always get a positive number as your answer. Same thing for negative. If you multiply a negative by a negative, you will always get a positive. However, when you multiply a negative by a positive, you will always get a negative number.

Since you know this, you can multiply 2 by 3, which is 6. Because 2 is negative and 3 is positive, you know that the answer must be negative. Therefore, you add the negative symbol to 6, giving you -6.

I hope this isn't too confusing. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Good luck!

Answer 2

-6

Explanation:

if they were both positive numbers, it would be 6. But when you multiply a negative by a positive, the answer is negative.
