Answer:

12

Explanation:

So what we know is that x is equal to negative 12. To make this easier you can say that -x is the same as -1 times x like shown below,

-1 ×
x is the same as -X

We can replace the x with -12 and a negative times a negative is a positive so the answer would be 12.

If you want me to explain it more let me know, but hopefully this helps and have a great day!
