it would be -36 because a negative times by a positive is a negative

A negative multiplied by a positive ALWAYS results in a negative. To make things simpler, you could multiply 12 by 3 to get 36, and then add on a negative afterwards. Otherwise, you can use your integer rules or a calculator. Any way you do it, the answer will be -36.
