We are all pretty good with our money.

When we spend it that is "minus". When we get more of it that's "plus".

Sometime we make a loan so the minus sits out to the side of our financial affairs and becomes a "negative".

I have $1 and somebody owes me $2 when they give me back the negatve two, it works as a plus for me and I have $3 in my hot little hand.

To subtract a negative, is the same as adding a positive.

Those double negatives cancel each other out.

The reason has for now slipped my mind, but to rememebr something like that just use this method: when two negatives are next to eachother, (the --) the second one carries over on top of the other to form a plus and then u add them. for example, 4--6=10
