When you multiply two negative integers, the result is always a positive integer.  

Therefore, keeping the above rule in mind, -12 * (-2) would equal B. 24, as 12 * 2 = 24 and we know that the product's sign will be positive.

[tex](-12)\times (-2) = (12\times -1) \times (2\times -1)\\\\= -1 \times -1 \times 12 \times 2\\\\=-1 \times -1 \times 24\\\\= 1\times 24\\\\= 24[/tex]

Whenever you multiply a negative number by a negative number, it becomes positive.

Your final answer is B. 24.
