what is the answer to (12)(-3)

Answer 1

12 x -3 = -36

12x3 =36, then put a negative sign in front of 36

12x 3 = 3x2 + 3x10 = 6 +30 = 36

12 = 4x3

12x 3 = 4x3x3 = 4x9 = 36

maybe that is in the multiplication tables they have you memorize

or use a calculator

punch in 12

then the multiplication key

then -3

then answer key

and out pops -36
