Write the sum as a product. Simplify the product.
(-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10)
3(-10) + 2(-10); - 50
6(-10); -60
7(-10); -70
2(-10) + 2(-10) + 2(-10); -58
The sum (-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) can be written as a product:
6*(-10) = -60.
Similarly,
3(-10) + 2(-10) simplifies to (-30) + (-20) = -50.
And,
2(-10) + 2(-10) + 2(-10) simplifies to 2*(-30) = -60.
To write the sum as a product, you can factor out the common number being added:
(-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) =
6 * (-10) =
- 60
So, the sum (-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) can be written as a product -60.
To write the sum as a product, you need to simplify the expression by combining like terms.
(-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) can be written as 6(-10).
3(-10) + 2(-10) can be simplified as (-30) + (-20) which is equal to -50.
The expression 6(-10) is already in its simplest form and equals -60.
Similarly, 7(-10) is also in its simplest form and equals -70.
2(-10) + 2(-10) + 2(-10) can be simplified as (-20) + (-20) + (-20) which is equal to -60.
Therefore, the expression 2(-10) + 2(-10) + 2(-10) simplifies to -60, not -58 as stated in your question.
