Answer:

264

Explanation:

First let's try the distributive property first

(-12x3)+(-12x-25)

-36+(300) Keep in mind that two negatives equal a positive

-36+300

264

There is another way to do this though

PEMDAS tells us to use what is in the parenthesis first so let's do that

-12(-22) 3-25 equals -22

264 Once again two negatives equal a positive

Your answer could be 264 or any one of these steps depending on what you need your answer to be but I'll put 264 as my "answer"
