Question

Given $-51\times x=204$ and $-33\times y=-297$, then find the value of $-x\times y$.

• A. $-36$
• B. $33$
• C. $36$
• D. $-33$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $36$

Given, $-51\times x=204$ and $-33\times y=-297$

Therefore, $x=-\frac{204}{51}=-4$

and $y=\frac{-297}{-33}=9$

Thus $-x\times y=-(-4)\times 9=36$
