see below

${(- 1)}^{3} \cdot (- x)$ $(-1)^3 *(-x)$

$(- 1) (- 1) (- 1) = - 1$ $(-1)(-1)(-1) = -1$

an odd amount of negative multiplications always results negative.

an even amount returns a positive value.

$(- 1) \cdot (- x) = x$ $(-1)*(-x) = x$

How do you simplify (−1)(−1)(−1)(−x)(- 1) ( - 1) ( - 1) ( - x )?
