Answer:

Sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

When x is a nonzero integer, then x can be

  • negative;
  • positive.

If x is negative, then [tex]-3x[/tex] is positive (multiplying negative number by -3 you get positive number).

If x is positive, then [tex]-3x[/tex] is negative (multiplying positive number by -3 you get negative number).

So, the statement "When x is a nonzero integer, the quantity -3x will be negative" is sometimes true.
