Chapter 2: Problem 7

Find the product. $$-5 \cdot(-7)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The product of -5 and -7 is 35.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the numbers and their signs

We have two numbers here, -5 and -7. Both numbers are negative.
02

Apply the multiplication rule

Since both numbers are negative, their product will be positive. So, multiply the absolute values of the numbers. That is \(5*7 = 35\).
03

Apply the sign to the product

As discussed in the previous step, the product of two negative numbers is positive. Therefore, the final answer is +35.
