The rule in /mathemtics, when no brackets are given, is DO THE MULTIPLCATUION/DIVISION before addition /subtraction.
You calculator is programmed this way.
Hence
-3 -2 X 4 = -3 - 8 = -11
Notice I have made the mukltiplication be forde the subtraction.
However, if the sum is wrtitten as (-3-2)x 4 , then you do the brackets first .
( -5) x 4 = -20
It is definitely NOT -6 x 4
