Question

52 × (– 8) + (–52) × 2

Answer 1

52× (--8) + (--52) ×2
(-- -- = +)
(--416)+(--104)
--520

Answer 2

52 × (– 8) + (–52) × 2

Group them:

= [ 52 × (– 8)]  + [ (–52) × 2]

Apply (-a) x b = a x (-b):

= [ 52 × (– 8)]  + [ 52 × (-2) ]

Take out common factor 52:

= 52 ( - 8 - 2)

Evaluate the value in the bracket:

= 52 ( - 10)

Multiply:

= - 520

Answer: - 520
