sorry, (-)(-) = +, so 10 and 20 are the only choices.
You are correct, my mistake. The reasonable answers for the product of two negatives and a positive are 10 and 20. Thank you for catching that.
The reasonable answer for the product of two negatives and a positive is: Negative 20.
To find the product of two negatives and a positive, you need to multiply the two negative numbers together, and then multiply the result by the positive number.
Let's go through each response and see if it fits this rule:
1) 20:
This answer does not fit the rule because it is positive, and we need to multiply two negatives.
2) 10:
This answer also does not fit the rule because it is positive, and we need to multiply two negatives.
3) Negative 20:
This answer does fit the rule because it is negative, which means we have multiplied the two negative numbers together, and then considered the positive number.
4) Negative 10:
This answer does not fit the rule. It is negative, but it does not match the previous response.
Therefore, the reasonable answer for the product of two negatives and a positive is "Negative 20".
