1. **State the problem:** Calculate the value of the expression $-4(-1)(-14)$. 2. **Recall the multiplication rules for signs:** - Multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive number. - Multiplying a positive number by a negative number results in a negative number. 3. **Step-by-step calculation:** - First, multiply $-4$ and $-1$: $$-4 \times -1 = 4$$ because negative times negative is positive. - Next, multiply the result $4$ by $-14$: $$4 \times -14 = -56$$ because positive times negative is negative. 4. **Final answer:** $$-56$$
