Answer 11

It's basically a copy of -3 four times.

You can think of it as 3 * 4 and add the negative sign ( a negative and positive is negative)

Or add -3 four times. -3 - 3 -3 -3

Answer 12

so im right?

Answer 13

Yeah, seeing that there's 81 in the options. Is it being raised to a power?

\[-3^{4}\]

the 81 is just a deceiving trick. The * symbol means multiply
so -3 times 4
-3-3-3-3 = -12

Answer 26

-5x*4

Answer 27

so, to confirm, you're saying multiply, right?

Answer 28

._. Kay. Done~

I'm just going with -5x*4

Plug in -2 for x

-5(-2) * 4

-5 * -2 = ??

?? * 4 = ??

Answer 29

so (-5)*(-2)*4
(-5)*(-2) = 10 since multiplying 2 negative numbers will give you a positive number
then just multiply 10 times 4

Answer 30

40

Answer 31

Yes, -2 * -5 = 10

10 * 4 = 40
