- - Let's solve:

Start of with parenthesis because were using pemdas.

Now you have (-2)(-4) which is (-2)*(-4)



(-2)*(-4)=8

(Negative times a negative = positive)


Now you simply have:

12-8


12-8=4


4 is your final answer.

12 - (-2) (-4)

-2 * -4 = ?
A negative times a negative equals a positive value.

-2*-4 = 8

12 - 8 = ?

12-8 = 4

Because 4+8 = 12

Final answer: 4
