Question

Describe a real-world context that matches the equation 6 x (-2) = -12. Explain what the product represent

A bank had to pay 6 customers $2 each. (Because the bank is paying the money, it is losing the money, so it is negative 2, and 6 times negative 2 is -12). The -12 product represents the change in the amount of money the bank has.
