The correct Answer is:
To solve the question `(-5) x (-7)` and check if it is the same as `(7) x (-5)`, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate `(-5) x (-7)` - When multiplying two negative numbers, the result is positive. - Therefore, `(-5) x (-7) = 5 x 7 = 35`. ### Step 2: Calculate `(7) x (-5)` - Here, we are multiplying a positive number by a negative number. - The result of multiplying a positive number by a negative number is negative. - Thus, `(7) x (-5) = 7 x 5 = -35`. ### Step 3: Compare the results - From Step 1, we found that `(-5) x (-7) = 35`. - From Step 2, we found that `(7) x (-5) = -35`. - Now we compare the two results: `35` and `-35`. ### Conclusion - Since `35` is not equal to `-35`, the statement `(-5) x (-7)` is the same as `(7) x (-5)` is **false**. ---
