Write the sum as a product. Simplify the product. (–2) + (–2) + (–2) + (–2). . A. 4 (–2); –8. . B. 5 (–2); –10. . C. (–2) + (–2) + (–2) + (–2); –6. . D. 2(–2) + 2(–2); 10
According to Question
(–2) + (–2) + (–2) + (–2). we have to write sum as product, so
(–2) . (–2) . (–2) . (–2).
So multiplying all 2 we get 16
Answer:
Option A; -8 is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given an expression:
(-2)+(-2)+(-2)+(-2)
Taking common factor (-2) from the above expression we will get
(-2)[1+1+1+1]
Now, simplify the above expression we will get
(-2)[4]
Now, after further simplification we will get
-8
Therefore, Option A; -8 is correct
