Answer
$-8$
Work Step by Step
We start with the given expression: $(-2)(-2)(-2)$
We multiply from left to right:
The product or quotient of two numbers with the same sign is positive.
Since -2 and -2 are both negative, their product is positive.
$(4)(-2)$
The product or quotient of two numbers with different signs is negative.
Since 4 and -2 have different signs, their product is negative: $-8$
