This is because the negatives cancel each other out. For example, (-2 \\times -4 = 8), as we saw above. This is a basic rule in multiplication: multiplying two negatives results in a positive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiplying by a positive number<\/strong>: After obtaining the intermediate result of 8 from multiplying the two negative numbers, we then multiply this positive result by a positive number (5). This step follows the standard rule of multiplication, where multiplying a positive number by another positive number results in a positive product. Thus, (8 \\times 5 = 40).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, the result of (-2(-4)(5)) is (40), achieved by following the standard rules of multiplication and handling the signs correctly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evaluate -2(-4)(5) The correct answer and explanation is : Let&#8217;s break down the given expression step by step: The expression to evaluate is:[-2(-4)(5)] Step 1: Identify the components This expression involves three factors: The goal is to multiply these three values together.
