Answer 2

The 2nd problem is:

6times4plus(-)4=20

Answer 3

Where's the algebra?  And what does all this clutter mean?  Especially "(minus)-(negative)-"?

If you mean "-12+3x4", first you multiply to get -12+12, then add to get 0.

If you mean "6x4+(-4)", first you multiply to get 24+(-4), then add to get 20.

Without proper mathematical notation, it makes no sense at all.

Answer 4

You don't need to say "(minus)-(negative)-12+3x4", you can easily just say -(-12 + 3x^4 ).

Two negative symbols cancel out to just a positive symbol. A positive and a negative symbol cancel out to just a negative symbol.

Examples:

4 - (-4) = 4 + 4

4 + (-4) = 4 - 4
