Describe a real world situation that can be represented by the product 8 (-20). then find the product and explain what the product means in terms of the real world situation. i only know the bank one.

For example, it could be the case of someone lost the wallet with 8 $20 bills inside and i take 20 negative if 8.

A good way to represent negative numbers and products is with money owed, or IOUs.

Let's say you owe a friend $20. If you owe two friends, you owe $40, or, you have -$40. And so forth. You can represent the second one by multiplying 2(-20) = -40

For our problem, the product would be 8 * -20 = -160. A situation for this is that you have eight friends and you each friend $20. In total you owe $160, or have -$160.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
