5(-13)(-2)=?
What you do is:
1. rewrite it to 5*-13*-2
2. do the first multiplication, so 5*-13= -65 because a positive times a negative = a negative
3. -65*-2= 130 because a negative times a negative = a positive
4. the answer is 130

5(-13)(-2)=5 times -13 times -2
-65(-2)
130
~when two numbers that are negative multiply or divide, the answer becomes positive.

When you multiply a series of numbers if there are no or an even number of minus signs the answer will be positive.
If there is an odd number of minus signs, the answer will be negative.
Here you have an even number of minus signs so answer is positive 130
