You have to multiply the 2 numbers. Keep in mind that a positive times a negative is a negative number.
2 * -5 = -10
This question is asking what is 2 multiplied by negative 5. The rules are as follows:
A positive multiplied by a positive results in a positive number.
A negative multiplied by a negative results in a negative number.
A negative number multiplied by a positive number results in a negative number.
Therefore, 2 times negative 5 is equal to negative 10,
or
2(-5)=-10
2(-5) = 1 /2*2*2*2*2 = 1/32
