Hey there!

-4c = -20

-4(-5)

= 4(5)

= 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4

= 8 + 8 + 4

= 16 + 4

= 20

20 ≠ -20

Therefore, this statement is: FALSE

YOUR ANSWER IS: NO

Reason?

Well because….

2 negatives make a positive

2 positives make a positive

1 negative & 1 positive make a negative

1 positive & 1 negative make a negative

And this question you had 2 negatives so that make your overall result a positive.

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
