-8*-4

 

When doing the positive version, 8*4, you get 32. You may think since the numbers are negative, the answer will be -32, but that's not the case. When multiplying two negatives (a double negative), you should get a positive answer (multiplying 2 negatives=positive).

 

So, since 8*4=32, then -8*-4=32 as well.

-8 multiplied by -4 equals what

 

-8 X -4=32 or +32, which is the same thing.
