Hello!
To answer this question we need to find the factors of -120.
The total set (both negative and postive! ) are the following:
- 1, -120
- 2, -60
- 3, -40
- 4, -30
- 5, -24
- 6, -20
- 8, -15
- 10, -12
- 12, -10
- 15, -8
- 20, -6
- 24, -5
- 30, -4
- 40, -3
- 60, -2
- 120, -1
After looking over all of these factors, we can see that 10 · -12 is equal to not only -120, but when the multiplication sign is replace by addition, it is equal to -2!
Hope this helps.
