Question

– 3 × 3 = – 12 – ( – 3) True or False? Why?

Answer 1

- 3 x - 3  = 9

-12 - (-3) negative x negative = positive
= -12 + 3 = 9

they are equal

Answer 2

yes it is true as
in L.H.S we have -3x3= -9
and on R.H.s we have -12-(-3)
                                 = -12 +3
                                 = -9
 as L.H.S= R.H.S
∴ -3x3= -12-(-3)
