Answer 1

Answer:

please mark me as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplication of integers is associative, i.e., for any three integers a, b, c, we have

a × ( b × c) = (a × b) × c

For example:

(i) (-3) × {4 × (-5)} = (-3) × (-20) = 3 × 20 = 60

and, {(-3) × 4} × (-5) = (-12) × (-5) = 12 × 5 = 60

Therefore, (- 3) × {4 × (-5)} = {(-3) × 4} × (-5)

(ii) (-2) × {(-3) × (-5)} = (-2) × 15 = -(2 × 15)= -30

and, {(-2) × (-3)} × (-5) = 6 × (-5) = -(6 × 5) = -30

Therefore, (- 2) × {(-3) × (-5)} = {-2) × (-3)} × (-5)
