What your problem says is:
Multiply a positive 4 times a negative 5 and then apply a negative sign to the answer. Remember that the negative of a negative is a positive.
OR:
Multiply a negative 1 times a positive 4 and then multiply that result times a negative 5. Remember, a negative times a negative is a positive.
