A number is multiplied by 74 the result is less than zero

Answer 1

If the result of multiplying a number by 74 is less than zero, it means that the number itself must be negative.

When a negative number is multiplied by a positive number, the result is always negative. In this case, the positive number is 74. So, if the result is negative, the number being multiplied must be negative.

Thus, any negative number, when multiplied by 74, will result in a number less than zero.
