Question

Using the multiplication properties, Find $26\times (-48)+(-48)\times (-36)$

Answer 1

Given, $26\times (-48)+(-48)\times (-36)$

By using the distributive property of integers, we have

$$\begin{gathered} 26\times (-48)+(-48)\times (-36)=(-48)\times \left[26+(-36)\right] \\ =(-48)\times (-10) \\ =480 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required value is $480$
