This expression is equal to 24.

-2(-3) = 6
6(-1) = -6
-6(-4) = 4

The commutative property of multiplication states that you don’t have to do it in any specific order.

Multiply from left to right (although you don't have to do this I just personally find it easier)

(-2 * -3)(-1)(-4)

(6)(-1)(-4)

^^^A negative times a negative is a positive

(6* -1)(-4)

(-6)(-4)

^^^Positive times a negative is a negative

(-6 * -4)

(24)

-2(-3)(-1)(-4) = 24

Hope this helped!
