Multiplying integers with a variable?? Please help. ME!?

Question

How do you do -2 x 3x?

-4ab x (-6)

and -3x x (-z)

Answer 1

-2 * 3x = -6x <== Multiply like terms -2 & 3

-4ab * -6 = 24ab <== Multiply like terms -6 & -4 (The negatives cancel out)

-3x * -z = -3x-z <== Combine everything how it is

Hope this helped!! :]

Answer 2

-2(3x)= - 6x

-4ab(-6) = 24ab

Answer 3

Question 1: you just simply multiply the 2 integers.  Answer = -6x

Question 2: same as question 1.  Answer = 24ab

Question 3: this time, you multiply the 2 integers and mulitply the 2 variables.  Answer = (-3)(-1) (x) (y) = 3xy

If you see integers/numbers, multiply them together.  If you see variables, multiply them together. And then put the integers and variables together.

Answer 4

-6x

24ab

3xz

positive *negative=negative

negative*negative=positive
