See a solution process below:

We can rewrite this expression as:

#2 xx 11 xx -2 xx 10 =>#

#2 xx -2 xx 11 xx 10 =>#

#(2 xx -2) xx (11 xx 10) =>#

#-4 xx 110 =>#

#-440#

#=-440#

#22 xx -20#

When you are multiplying a positive number with a negative number, the result has to carry the negative sign.

#22 xx - 20 = -440#
