Question
evaluate $-6 \times (-5) + (-6)$.
Step1: Multiply -6 and -5
Recall the rule that the product of two negative numbers is positive. So, \(-6 \times (-5) = 30\).
Step2: Add -6 to the result
Now we have \(30 + (-6)\). Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting its positive counterpart, so \(30 - 6 = 24\).
