-4(8)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two commutative property:

Addition and multiplication

Commutaitive property in the quetion is that of multiplication

In this case:

a×(b) = b×(a)

for 8(-4): The sign goes with the number in front of it

+8(-4) = -4(8)

Rewriting it in commutative property, we have -4(8)
