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 3 to get 9:

3×3=9 3\times3=9

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

3×(+3)=9 -3\times(+3)=-9

Answer

3 3
