20
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any negative number added to a positive number always brings you further to the left, which is considered the negative zone. It's more like subtracting in a different way. That said, let's make the equation.
[tex]-4 = -4[/tex]
Now, multiply 3 by 8.
[tex]3 * 8 = 24[/tex]
Add negative 4, meaning subtract 4 in a dynamic way.
[tex]|-4 + 24~| = 20[/tex]
