Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Multiplication of Integers

Multiplication of integers involves combining two whole numbers to find their product. In this case, multiplying 5 by -7 results in -35. The product of a positive and a negative integer is always negative, which is a fundamental rule in arithmetic.

Order of Operations

The order of operations is a set of rules that dictates the sequence in which mathematical operations should be performed to ensure consistent results. In this scenario, since there is only multiplication involved, the order is straightforward, but it is crucial to remember this concept when dealing with more complex expressions.

Understanding Products and Quotients

A product is the result of multiplying two or more numbers, while a quotient is the result of dividing one number by another. In the given question, we focus on finding the product of 5 and -7, which emphasizes the importance of recognizing these operations in algebraic expressions.
