The product of a positive and a negative number will always be negative, therefore:
7 * (-12) = -84

Hope this helps.

One negative number and one positive number multiplied together will give you a negative number for an answer

7 x 12 = 84

however, 12 is negative, and so your answer will end up as negative

7 x (-12) = -84

-84 is your answer

hope this helps
