Question

multiply.
(-9)×7
enter the answer in the box.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the rule for multiplying a negative and a positive number.

When multiplying a negative number and a positive number, the result is negative. So, we first find the product of the absolute values and then apply the negative sign.
The absolute value of \(-9\) is \(9\) and the absolute value of \(7\) is \(7\).

Step2: Multiply the absolute values.

\(9\times7 = 63\)

Step3: Apply the negative sign.

Since one number is negative and the other is positive, the product is \(-63\).

Answer:

\(-63\)
