Exercise 26 Page 239

Substitute -6 for a in the expression. When multiplying real numbers, the product will be positive if the signs are the same and it will be negative if the signs are different.

-12

Practice makes perfect

To evaluate the given expression for a=-6, first, we should substitute -6 for a in the given expression.

2a

a= -6

2( -6)

When multiplying real numbers, the product will be positive if the signs are the same and it will be negative if the signs are different. cc Same Sign & Different Signs (+)(+)=(+) & (+)(-)=(-) (-)(-)=(+) & (-)(+)=(-) In our case one number is negative and one is positive, so the product will be negative.

2(-6)

(- a)b = - ab

-2* 6

Multiply

-12
