Question

Felix write the math problem below(-3)(-5+(-8))=nwhich is true?answer optionsn=-39n=-9n=9n=39

Answer 1

We are given the following expression:

$\mleft(-3\mright)\mleft(-5+\mleft(-8\mright)\mright)=n$

First, we will solve the expressions inside the parenthesis:

$(-3)(-5-8)=n$

Now we have two terms that have the same sign, therefore, we add them together and the result will have that sign, that is:

$(-3)(-13)=n$

Now we have the product of two negative number, therefore, we multiply them together and the result will have a positive sign:

$39=n$

Therefore, n = 39.
