To multiply \(2 \times 4 \times (-6)\) step by step, we can choose a systematic approach:
-
First, calculate \(4 \times (-6)\): \[ 4 \times (-6) = -24 \]
-
Then, multiply that result by \(2\): \[ 2 \times (-24) = -48 \]
So, the correct multiplication sequence is:
\[ 2 \times [4 \times (-6)] = 2 \times (-24) = -48 \]
Based on the options provided, the correct answer would show:
\(2 \times [4 \times (-6)]\) leading to \(2 \times (-24) = -48\).
Thus, the answer would be:
2 × [4 × (-6)] = 2 × (-24) = -48.
However, it seems all responses contain repetitions or errors. The closest matches among the options you've provided would be:
2 × [4 × (-6)] and 2 × (-24) = -48.
So you can select that option if it captures the steps correctly.
