Question
State which is greater: ${(-2) - 5} \times (-6)$ and $(-2) - 5 \times (-6)$
✓
Answer
$((-2) - 5) \times -6 = (-7) \times (-6) $
$= (7 \times 6) = 42 (-2) - 5 \times (-6) $
$= -2 + (5 \times 6) = 30 - 2 = 28$
Therefore, $((-2) - 5\times (-6)) > (-2) - 5 \times (-6)$
$= (7 \times 6) = 42 (-2) - 5 \times (-6) $
$= -2 + (5 \times 6) = 30 - 2 = 28$
Therefore, $((-2) - 5\times (-6)) > (-2) - 5 \times (-6)$
