Fill in the missing number:
(−6)⋅?=−12 (-6)\cdot?=-12 (−6)⋅?=−12
Let's remember the law:
(−x)×(+x)=−x (-x)\times(+x)=-x (−x)×(+x)=−x
Let's think about which number we need to multiply by 6 to get 12:
6×2=12 6\times2=12 6×2=12
Now let's put the numbers together with the appropriate sign as written in the law above, as follows:
−6×(+2)=−12 -6\times(+2)=-12 −6×(+2)=−12
2 2 2
