The properties illustrated by each statement are as follows:
1. **Commutative Property of Multiplication**: This property states that the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not change the product. In this case, (3r)(2s) is equal to (2s)(3r), demonstrating that the multiplication of the two terms can be rearranged.
2. **Double Negation**: This concept states that negating a negation gives the original value. Here, -(-3) simplifies to 3, showing that removing the negative sign results in the positive equivalent of the number.
