Answering your question

-7 * -8 = 7 * 8

-7 * -8 = 56

7 * 8 = 56

56 = 56

Answer: YES they are equivalent/equal to each other because both of them equal positive 56.

• It wouldn’t be equivalent if one is a negative number and the other one is positive (even when it looks like the same number). If both numbers are positives / negatives with the same number then they’ll most likely be equivalent/equal to each other!

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
