Answer:
Let's put it like this.
a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
Now, multiply b and a.
a x c = 3
Convert this expression to its factored version, ac.
Next, multiply b and c.
b x c = 6
Turn b and c into factored form, bc.
↓ conclusion ↓
Since 6 is greater than 3, this statement is not true. The only way it will always be true is if you reversed the number sequence to be greatest to least, instead of least to greatest.
