Answer:
We can conclude that -6 is not one of these three numbers. So, the actual numbers are:
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the given numbers
-2 -12 -6 -9
Lets take the three numbers
-2 -12 -9
Taking the sum of -2 -12 -9
[tex]\left(-2\right)+\left(-12\right)+\left(-9\right)[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Apply\:rule\:}+\left(-a\right)\:=\:-a[/tex]
[tex]=\:-2-12-9[/tex]
[tex]=-23[/tex]
Therefore, the sum of -2 -12 -9 is -23.
i.e.
[tex]\left(-2\right)+\left(-12\right)+\left(-9\right)=-23[/tex]
Taking the product of -2 -12 -9
[tex]\left(-2\right)\times \left(-12\right)\times \left(-9\right)[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Apply\:rule\:}\left(-a\right)\times \left(-b\right)\:=\:a\times \:b[/tex]
as
[tex]\left(-2\right)\times \left(-12\right)=2\times \:12=24[/tex]
so
[tex]=24\times \left(-9\right)[/tex]
[tex]\mathrm{Apply\:rule\:}a\times \left(-b\right)\:=\:-a\times \:b[/tex]
[tex]24\times \left(-9\right)=-24\times \:9=-216[/tex]
Therefore, the product of -2 -12 -9 is -216.
i.e.
[tex]\left(-2\right)\times \left(-12\right)\times \left(-9\right)=-216[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that -6 is not one of these three numbers. So, the actual numbers are:
