Negative 9 X Negative 7 = 63 because a negative and a negative turn positive!

its easy! watch:
-9 times 2 cause when you have the parentheses there, you're supposed to distribute and multiply and you get -18 and then the next step is to distribute the -9 to the -9 and then you will get positive 81 because negative times a negative is a positive. so now you have -18 and +81 you add them together. -18+81. So then you get 63.
FINAL ANSWER: 63

First you solve what's in the brackets, so that's 2-9 which is equal to -7
So then you have -9(-7) and the brackets between two numbers means you multiply.
So you multiply -9 and -7. Two negatives multiplied together gives you a positive so your final answer is:
63!

-9(2-9)
do order of operations. Do whats in parentheses first
2-9=-8, so -9 TIMES 2 EQUALS 18. Or u can do distributive property. -9 times 2= -18 -9 times -9 ==81. so -18 + 81==63
63
