.
Answer: A) −594

Key idea: Why distributive matters

The distributive property is your best friend for mental maths with integers. Example: compute (−7) × 102.

(−7) × 102 = (−7) × (100 + 2) = (−7)(100) + (−7)(2) = −700 + (−14) = −714.

Or (−13) × 99 = (−13)(100 − 1) = −1300 + 13 = −1287. Break the harder factor into a friendly sum or difference, distribute, then combine.
