Are you able to multiply two numbers ?

Are you able to write your results in a row ?


If you able do it, for what reason do you submit this text to this forum ?

Every answer choice has the same three expressions, listed in different orders. If, as I assume, the parentheses indicate multiplication, then two of the expressions -- "-(5)4" and "(-5)4" have the same value.

So if two of the expressions in each list have the same value, how can any of the lists show the three expressions in order from least to greatest?

The question as you show it makes no sense.
