8 would be a negative in this situation and 4 would be a positive. So the problem would look like this:
-8 x 4 = ?
For this particular problem, we would do 8 x 4 which would equal 32. Then we would try to find which one has the greater absolute value.
Absolute Value:
4 = 4
-8 = |8|
Since -8 has the greater absolute value, the answer would be negative.
The Answer: -32
