a) \( 72 \div (-6) = \) ......
TRUE 😊 \( 72 \div (-6) = -12 \)
FALSE 😢 Remember: positive ÷ negative = negative
Explanation:
When dividing numbers with different signs:
\( \text{positive} \div \text{negative} = \text{negative} \)
\( 72 \div 6 = 12 \)
\( 72 \div (-6) = -12 \)
When dividing numbers with different signs:
\( \text{positive} \div \text{negative} = \text{negative} \)
\( 72 \div 6 = 12 \)
\( 72 \div (-6) = -12 \)

b) If \( X = | -2 | \) and \( y = -3 \), then \( X \times y = \) ......
TRUE 😊 \( X \times y = 2 \times (-3) = -6 \)
FALSE 😢 Calculate absolute value first, then multiply
Explanation:
1. First find \( X \):
\( X = | -2 | = 2 \) (absolute value always positive)
2. Then multiply by \( y \):
\( X \times y = 2 \times (-3) = -6 \)
1. First find \( X \):
\( X = | -2 | = 2 \) (absolute value always positive)
2. Then multiply by \( y \):
\( X \times y = 2 \times (-3) = -6 \)
