The answer is 120 what you do you take -10 and multiply it by -12. Why a positive 120 you may ask because when you multiply two numbers with the same sign the answer should be positive no matter what. Hope I helped!

the law of definite proportions states samples of a compound will always contain the same proportion of elements by mass. in other words, a given compound will always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass.the law of multiple proportions states when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, then the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
