First parentheses.
-7 × (4+8) =
-7 × (12) =

Then Multiply.
-7 × 12 = -84

Answer is -84.

- A good tip is to follow this rule :

PEMDAS

Parentheses, exponent, Multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.

Do it in that same order and you will get your answer.

The answer would be -84.

Here are the steps I did.

1. Simplify 4 + 8 to 12 ( -7 * 12 )

2. Now lastly simplify and u get -84.
