Assumptions
1. The multiplication of two negative numbers results in a positive number.
2. We are multiplying $-1$ by $-7$ .

STEP 2

Apply the rule that the product of two negative numbers is positive.
$(-1) \times (-7) = (+1) \times (+7)$

STEP 3

Now, multiply the absolute values of the numbers.
$1 \times 7 = 7$

STEP 4

Since the product of two negative numbers is positive, the result is positive 7.
$(-1) \times (-7) = +7$
The solution to $-1 \times -7$ is $+7$ .
