Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's remember the law:

(x)×(+x)=x (-x)\times(+x)=-x

Let's think about which number we need to multiply by 10 to get 100:

10×10=100 10\times10=100

Now let's put the numbers together with the appropriate sign as written in the law above, and we'll get:

+10×(10)=100 +10\times(-10)=-100

Answer

10 -10
