Question

Solve using properties . (-5)×(-8)×(-2)×(5). with solution

Answer 1

Heya friend!

Sheena here!

So your question is related to integers chapter.

When positive numbers,0 and negative numbers are together they are known as integers.

There are 4 properties>>>

=> Closure property
=> Commutative property
=> Associative property
=> Distributive property

So coming to your question >>>

=> (-5)*(-8)*(-2)*(5)
=> [(-5)*(-8)]*[(-2)*(5)]         (Associative property)
=> 40*(-10)
=> -400

So In your question we used associative property which states that>>>

For any integers a,b and c

(a*b)*c=a*(b*c)
