Explain how to use the properties of numbers to simplify (-68) + 6(-99) + (-32).

Question

mathhelper idk what your saying in ur answer

Answer 1

(-68) + 6(-99) + (-32)
=(-68) + (-32) + 6(-99) by the commutative property, a+b = b+a
= (-100) + 6(-99) , I just added those first two in my head, no actual property
= -100 + 6(1 - 100) , just because 1 - 100 = -99, want to set up the distributive property
= -100 + 6 - 600 , by the distributive property
= ..... left this for you to do in your head

Answer 2

which is -694....??
