The expression "negative 12 - nonactive 3" seems to involve a misunderstanding or misuse of terms. If you interpret it as simply subtracting 3 from -12, the calculation would be -12 - 3, which equals -15. However, if "nonactive" has a specific meaning in your context, please clarify for a more accurate response.
-3+(-12) = -15
As long as it stays nonactive, or dormant, it is fine.
Negative 4 multiplied by 3 is equal to negative 12.
-3 + -12 = -15
