could someone help me multiply this?

Question

(-12w) x (9w)

Answer 1

Hi Seth,

 

When you multiply a negative times a positive, the answer is negative.

 

Start by multiplying the numbers--> -108

 

Now multiply the w's--> w^2. . . . If w = 3 then 3 x 3 = 9 which is 3 squared.

 

So the answer is -108w^2
