Given the numerical equation:
-2(-3)(-4)
Determine the equivalent value.
Solution:
In order to determine the equivalent value, we must simply understand first the concept of multiplying, dividing, or introducing signs. If similar signs are introduced, multiplied or divided to one another, the answer will become positive, hence if the signs are opposite to one another, then the answer will become negative. In our case we have a negative number, and a negative numbertherefore the resulting sign will be positive, but it is multiplied again to a negative number, therefore the final result will be negative.
= (-2)(-3)(-4)
= (6)(-4)
= -24
Final answer:
= -24
