I think you're mixed up with the multiplication rules. But I know a much easier trick for multiplication rule. You count the number of negatives there are in the operation. If the number of negatives is an even number than the answer is positive. If there is an odd amount then the answer is negative. his only works for multiplication and division.

You won't know if the answer os a positive plus a negative is until you determine the numbers. For example: 4+(-2)=2 but 2+(-4)=-2

If the positive number is bigger than the negative number (not counting the negative sign) than yes, the answer is positive. If the negative is bigger than your answer is negative.

That'll be...1 trust point now.
