16: -7(5)= -35 ( REMEMBER THE MOUTH EATS THE BIGGEST NUMBER!) -6(-6)= 36 therefore 36 is greater than -35 18: they are exactly the same because in multiplication with inters it matters when the signs change. so 3(-6) = -18 ad -3(6)= -18 then -18=-18 20: Same as 18 where division has the same rules. if 8x5=40 then 40/8=5 -40/8=-5 and 40/(-8)=-5 then -5=-5 answers:
