Rules in operation with signed numbers?
I. Addition 1. Positive + Positive = Positive ( +3 PLUS +3 = +6) 2. Negative + Negative = Negative (-3 PLUS -3 = -6) 3. Positive + Negative OR Negative + Positive Subtract the numbers then copy the sign of the number with greater value. (+5 PLUS -3 = +2) (-5 PLUS +3 = -2) II. Subtraction Change the sign of the subtrahend then the follow the rules of addition above. Examples: +5 MINUS -3 = +5 +3 = +8 +5 MINUS +3 = +5 -3 = +2 III. Multiplication 1. Positive x Positive = Positive (+3 times +5= +15) 2. Negative x Negative = Positive (-3 times -5 = +15) 3. Positive x Negative = Negative (+3 times -5 = -15) 4. Negative x Positive = Negative (-3 times +5 = -15) IV. Division Same rules as in multiplication Note: Like signs when multiplied or divided together = Positive Unlike signs when multiplied or divided together = Negative

Why is a negative number multiplied by a negative number a positive number?
The rule goes:negative times negative equals positivenegative times positive equals negativepositive times positive equals positivepositive times negative equals negativeAnswer multiplicationNEGATIVE=OPPOSITEOpposite is just another word for negative, here's why.1. The opposite(negative) of positive is negative.2.The opposite(negative) of negative is positive. NOW WATCH IF YOU DONT THINK SOEX: 5*5=25....CHANGE TO OPPOSITE (NEGATIVE)....-5*-5=25ALSO:5*-5=-25.....THEN...5*5=25.....MY POINT IS...-25 and 25 are opposites of each other.FINAL ANSWER:NEGATIVE IS THE SAME AS OPPOSITENegative sign implies that it must move in the opposite direction. Thus, for example lets say, -5*-1. It's clear meaning is that move in direction(in xy plane)of magnitude 5 and in the direction opposite to that of -5. Thus the expression -5*-1 gives +5.
