thank you This question is from textbook

Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(4)(8) is this multipling?
Yes; multiplying can be written that way or 4*8 or 4(raised dot)8 or 4 x 8
or 4(8).
For all those the result is 32
-----------------
(-5)(-5)(-5) = -125
(-5)(-5)=25
and when you multiply again by -5 you get -125
------------
and one more please
54/-9 = -6
because "a positive number divided by a negative number is negative"
and "54 divided by 9 is 6"
------------
Cheers,
Stan H.
