Never. The sum of two negative numbers is a negative number with a value less than either of them, e.g. (-1) + (-2) = (-3)
Adding two negative numbers is the same as adding their positive absolute values, and expressing the sum as a negative.
If the two negative numbers are the same, and you subtract one from the other, the result is 0.
e.g. (-2) - (-2) is the same as (-2) + 2 , which equals 0.

What are two numbers that are equal distance from zero on a number line called?
For two numbers to be equidistant from zero, one must be the negative of the other. As one is the negative of the other, it is the additive inverse of that number. The sum of an number and its additive inverse is zero.
What are two numbers the same distance from zero on the number line?
Numbers the same distance from zero (linearly) have the same "absolute value" whether positive or negative.
How can you decide if the sum of two numbers is positive negative or zero without calculating the sum?
The sum of two negative numbers is positive and the sum of two negatives is negative. If you have both positive and negative numbers the sum can be either so look at the absolute value. If the negative number has a greater absolute value, the sum is negative. If the positive number has a greater absolute value the sum is positive. If the absolute values are equal, the sum is zero.
The product of two numbers that are less than zero is also less than zero.?
No. The product of two negative numbers is positive.
When is the product of two negative real numbers always greater than zero?
Whenever you multiply two negative real numbers.

What two numbers do you add to get 0 and multiply to get 80?
80
Why does two negative numbers equal a positive?
They do not always. The sum of two negative numbers is negative.
What does negative two minus zero equal?
-2

Does a double negative number equal a positive number?
no it doesnt. two negative numbers equal a negative number. two postivie numbers equal a positive number. one negative and one positive number equal a negative number.
When you add a positive and a neagitive number what is it going to equal to?
It will be a number either negative, zero or positive, depending on what the two numbers you add are.
The product of two numbers that are less than zero is also less than zero.?
No. The product of two negative numbers is positive.
When is the product of two negative real numbers always greater than zero?
Whenever you multiply two negative real numbers.
Can two numbers equal zero?
yes too answer can equal zero. for example: 12m added to 24 equals zero.
If 2 numbers are added to make 0 if none of the numbers are 0 what could the numbers be?
Any two positive and negative numbers of equal value would equal zero, for example -2 + 2 = 0 or -937 + 937 =0 and so on.
