(-237) × 0 is same as 0 × (-39)

Solution:

The requirement of the above question is to prove whether the given statement is true or false.

The given statement is (-237) × 0 is the same as 0 × (-39).

Now let us put the integer rules to identify whether (-237) × 0 is the same as 0 × (-39).

(-237) × 0 = 0

0 × (-39) = 0

Therefore, using the integer rule (-) × (-) = +, we observed that (-237) × 0 is the same as 0 × (-39). It is a true statement.

✦ Try This: State whether the statement is true or false.(-9) × 9 is same as 1 × (-81).

We can apply integer rules and the order of operations to identify whether (-9) × 9 is the same as 1 × (-81).
