Thank you i think im getting somewhere a however, what about -8 x (-4) = -32 am i correct? Ok is this one correct? Also is there a math expert to whom we will pay a decent hourly wage to tutor me?

No, you're not correct. When we multiply two negative numbers, the product is positive.

-8 x (-4) = + 32

We can't recommend a math tutor. I suggest you ask your teacher to recommend a local tutor for you.

Yes, you are correct. The multiplication of -8 and -4 is indeed equal to -32. When multiplying two negative numbers, the result is always positive. In this case, when you multiply -8 by -4, the two negative signs cancel each other out, resulting in a positive product of 32.

As for finding a math expert to tutor you, there are a few options available:

1. Online Tutoring Platforms: Websites like Tutor.com, Chegg, Wyzant, and Varsity Tutors provide a platform where you can connect with experienced tutors in a variety of subjects, including math. These platforms offer paid tutoring services, and you can usually find tutors who charge an hourly rate.

2. Local Tutoring Centers: Search for tutoring centers in your area that specialize in math instruction. These centers often have experienced tutors who can provide one-on-one tutoring sessions tailored to your needs. They usually charge an hourly rate for their services.

3. College/University Resources: If you are a student, consider checking if your college or university offers any free tutoring services or resources. Many schools provide tutoring programs where you can get help from more advanced students or math department faculty members.

Remember to do your research, read reviews, and compare rates before committing to a tutor. It's important to find someone who suits your learning style and can effectively help you reach your math goals.
