is this correct?
9-(-2)(-7)=-5
Mult -2x-7 is 14 then 9-14=-5?
Thank you?
Your answer is right :)
Yes, your answer is correct! Let me explain how you arrived at the correct answer.
You start with the expression 9-(-2)(-7).
To simplify this expression, you need to perform the multiplication before the subtraction.
First, you have -2 multiplied by -7. When you multiply two negative numbers, the product is positive. So, -2 multiplied by -7 is equal to 14.
Now, you have the expression 9-14. To subtract 14 from 9, you subtract the two numbers: 9 - 14. The result of this subtraction is -5.
Therefore, the final answer is -5.
Well done!
