To multiply two numbers with negatives involved you first multiply them normally. In this case 4x11 = 44. The next step is to assess whether the answer is positive or negative. In cases where there is one negative and one positive in the multiplication, the answer will be negative. Otherwise, the answer will be positive. In this case, both numbers were negative so the answer must be positive. Thus we have 44 and need to add negative 22. Adding negative numbers is the same as subtracting those numbers. Thus the question is 44-22 = 22. Therefore, negative 4 times negative 11 plus negative 22 is 22.
