Question

Verify commutative property for multiplication of 96 and- 12.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

−7/−20 and 5/−14

−7/−20={−7×(−1)}/{−20×(−1)}

=7/20

Now, 7/20 and 5/−14

7/20×5/−14

=(7×5)/20×(−14)

=35/−280

and

5/−14×7/20

=(5×7)/(−14×20)

=35/−280

Therefore, 7/20×5/−14=5/−14×7/20.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

here,

To prove that 96×(-12) =(-12)×96

we know that the commutative property of

multiplication of two numbers A and B is =AB=BA

so,

LHS

96×(-12)=-1152

and RHS,

-(12)×96=1152

LHS=RHS

hence, verified
