Answer:

-36uw

132b

hjk

-abc

Explanation:

When you multiply a negative by another negative, the negative is cancelled out. When you multiply a negative by a positive, the negative is kept.

1.) -9u(-4)(-w)

36u(-w)

-36uw

2.) -b(-12)(11)

12b(11)

132b

3.) -h(-jk)

hjk

4.) -1(-a)(-bc)

1a(-bc)

-1abc

-abc

Hope this helps! :)
