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