Question

Ju Chan solved the previous question by finding the expression 4(-15).

Which problem would give the same result? Select two options.

(-1)(15+15+15+15)

(-15)+ (-15)+ (-15)+ (-15)

Explanation:

Answer 2

-15(4) or -4(15) or 15(-4)

Explanation:

As long as you stick with the same variables, you can change their position in the equation or change both of their signs. This should give you the same answer.

Let's say your equation was -2(6). This means you must multiply -2 and 6. This should give you -12. You could also phrase it as 2(-6) or -6(2) or 6(-2). They all give you -12 as a result.
