When a variable is being multiplied and it's negative such as in (-4k = 12), you simply perform the inverse operation (in your case division) and keep the sign the same.
e.g.
-4k = 12
-4k ÷ -4 = 12 ÷ -4
k = -3
The number part of a term where a number and a variable are multiplied together is called the coefficient. For example, in the term ( 5x ), the coefficient is 5, which indicates how many times the variable ( x ) is being multiplied. Coefficients can be positive or negative and can also be fractions or decimals.
It is a coefficient.

it's only negative if it's being multiplied by a positive number. If it's being multiplied by another negative number than it will be positive.
That would be negative three. A negative multiplied by a negative is a positive. A negative multiplied by a positive is still a negative.

it's only negative if it's being multiplied by a positive number. If it's being multiplied by another negative number than it will be positive.
It is called multiplication!
No, a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive, as is of course a positive multiplied by a positive. Only when a negative is multiplied by a positive is the answer negative.
That would be negative three. A negative multiplied by a negative is a positive. A negative multiplied by a positive is still a negative.
In algebra, the term "multiplied with the variable" refers to a coefficient, which is a number or expression that is multiplied by a variable. For example, in the expression (5x), the coefficient is 5, and it indicates that the variable (x) is multiplied by 5. This operation is fundamental in forming algebraic expressions and equations.
a negative divided or multiplied by a negative is a positive a negative and a positive multiplied or divided by each other is a negative a negative divided or multiplied by a negative is a positive a negative and a positive multiplied or divided by each other is a negative
The answer will depend on the signs of the numbers being multiplied.
It is the coefficient of the variable
