A negative multiplied by a negative always makes a positive number- so negative four times negative six is simply four times six, which equals twenty-four!
Four times minus six is minus twenty four.
Neither, six times nine is fifty four.
(-4)*4 = (-16)
Oh, isn't that a happy little math question! Four times negative one is simply negative four. Just like painting a beautiful sky, math can be a peaceful and calming experience when we take it one step at a time. Keep up the good work, my friend!
