form. (1 point)
To multiply - ÷ by ~, we can use the property of operations that states that the product of a negative number and a positive number is negative.
Thus, multiplying - ÷ by ~ can be rewritten as (-1) x (~).
And by the rule for multiplying signed numbers, the product of a negative number and a positive number is negative:
(-1) x (~) = -~
So the answer in simplest form is -~.
To multiply a negative number (-) by a positive number (+), we follow the rule that states "When multiplying numbers with different signs, the product is negative."
In this case, we have - as the negative number (-) and ~ as the positive number (+).
So, the multiplication would be: (-) × (+) = -
Therefore, - × ~ = -
The answer, in simplest form, is -.
