Yes.
One can say that X+7 equals 4Y but we can not get an answer for X or an answer for Y without knowing one of them first.
Let's say that if you increase your money on a transaction you have a "positive profit", if you lose money, you have a loss, which we will call a "negative profit". Let's say your profit is minus 100. If you repeat the transaction with a loss 5 times, you will still have a loss - in this case, the profit is minus 500.
when you're doing a problem like that use this trick. let's say you have 3 to the -7 power minus 3 to the 4 power. -7 - 4 can also be shown as -7 + -4. i switched the minus sign to a plus sign and because i did that, i had to switch the positive 4 to a negative 4. so i got 3 to the -7 power plus 3 to the -4 power.
KCC! keep change change ... lets say it is 6-(-7)= 6
negative twelve of coarse, just take of the negative out and just say 11 plus 1
People say it both ways.
The quotient of a positive integer by a negative is always negative. Say this to yourself a couple times: "MULTIPLICATION: minus times minus is plus (negative x negative = positive).....minus times plus is minus (negative x positive = negative).....plus times plus is plus (positive x positive = positive) DIVISION: minus divi minus is plus (negative ÷ negative = positive)......minus divi plus is minus (negative ÷ positive = negative).....plus divi plus is plus (positive ÷ positive = positive)"
If you say so!

Two en minus one
Chlorine has a tendency to acquire an additional electron in order to complete its outer electron shell, so in an ionic compound it will form an ion with a charge of minus one. However, the chlorine atom is not negative, it is neutral, like all atoms. It only becomes negative when it becomes an ion.
minus: moins =]
When one of them is negative and the other is positive.

A negative power just means to invert it. Let's say we had x^(-2) - it is the same thing as 1/(x^2).
