To add two numbers with like signs, add their absolute values. The sum has the same sign as both addends.
1. 6 + 4 = |6| + |4| = 10
2. -6 + (-4) = |-6| + |-4| = 6 + 4 = 10 So,
-6 + (-4) = -10
To add two numbers with unlike signs, subtract the lesser absolute value from the greater absolute value. The sum has the sign as the addended with the greater absolute value.
1. -14 + 5
|-14| = 14 and |5| = 5
14 - 5 = 9 So,
-14 + 5 = -9
2. -5 + 14
|-5| = 5 and |14| = 14
14 - 5 = 9 So,
-5 + 14 = -9
To subtract a signed number, add its opposite.
Using this rule you can rewrite any subtraction a - b as a + (-b). Then you procced by following the rules for adding signed numbers.
1. -8 - (-25) = -8 + 25 = 17
2. -7 - 19 = -7 + (-19) = -26
3. 3 - 15 = 3 + (-15) = -8
The rules for adding and subtracting signed numbers can also applied to decimals and fractions.
To multiply or divide two numbers with like signs, multiply or divide their absolute values. The production or quotient is positive.
1. 2 x 3 = |2| x |3| = 2 x 3 = 6
2. 21/ 7 = |21|/|7| = 21/7 = 3
3. (-2) x (-3) = |-2| x |-3| = 2 x 3 = 6
4. -63/-9 = |-63|/|-9| = 63/9 = 7
To multiply or divide two numbers with unlike signs, multiply or divide their absolute values. The product or quotient will be negative.
1. -11 x 5 = |-11| x |5| = 11 x 5 = -55
2. 28/-4 = |28|/|-4| = 28/4 = -7
To divide two fractions, multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor, and simplify the result.
1. (-3/5)/(9/7) = |-3/5| x |7/9| = 3/5 x 7/9 = (3 x 7)/(5 x 9) = - 21/45 = - 7/15
2. (-2/3)/(-5/8) = |-2/3| x |-8/5| = 2/3 x 8/5 = (2 x 8)/(3 x 5) = 16/15
nope. Multiplication is a form of addition. Division is a form of subtraction.
Well, actually, division is just multiplication in reverse. Take 21 divided by 3 for example, and 7 times 3 is 21, so 7 is the answer for division. Try some new numbers and you'll get it! I've mastered division, so will you.
Multiplication is the same as division by the reciprocal. Example: both 4 times 2 and 4 divided by 1/2 equal 8.
The result of a multiplication problem is called a product.
It depends on the operation and values of the positive and negative. For example, in multiplication or division a positive and negative will be a negative. In addition or subtraction, it depends on the absolute value of the original numbers.
nope. Multiplication is a form of addition. Division is a form of subtraction.
Multiplication will be given equal priority and will be done on a left to right basis. So for example, the multiplication would be done first and the division second in the first example and the division would be done first and multiplication second in the second example, with the addition being the last thing to be done in both examples: =A3+A4*10/7 =A3+A4/10*7
Within parentheses or similar symbols, the same rules apply as when you don't have parentheses. For example, multiplication and division have a higher priority (or precedence) than addition and subtraction.Within parentheses or similar symbols, the same rules apply as when you don't have parentheses.

Multiplication and division come first, then addition and subtraction. For example: 4 + 2 X 3 + 6 = 16 First you multiply 2 X 3, to get 6, and then you add them, left to right 4 + 6 + 6 = 16. The answer IS NOT 54 and the answer IS NOT 30. The same rule applies with division; division comes before addition or substraction. If there is both division and multiplication and/or addition and subtraction, you resolve the multiplication and division left to right first, then resolve the addition and subtraction left to right. It is generally better to user parentheses to illustrate exactly what you mean. For example, the above equation would be easier read if it was written 4 + (2 X 3) + 6. Or, if you really had wanted the addition first, (4 + 2) X (3 + 6). Then it is quicker and easier for the reader to see what is going on in equation.
The four primary arithmetic operations a computer program can perform are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.2 + 3 = 5 is an example of addition9 - 7 = 7 is an example of subtraction2 x 3 = 6 is an example of multiplication10 / 2 = 5 is an example of division
I'm assuming you're asking if a fraction is addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division? If so, it's division. For example, 1/2 = 0.5.
The order of steps you take in a math problem Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction For Example: (2x3)+20-2x5, if you follow pemdas the answer is:16
Well, actually, division is just multiplication in reverse. Take 21 divided by 3 for example, and 7 times 3 is 21, so 7 is the answer for division. Try some new numbers and you'll get it! I've mastered division, so will you.
Substraction is like addition, because you are basically adding negative number to some kind of number(s) given. For example: 45 - 3=42 <- It looks like it is substracting but it really is: 45+(-3)=42 Another example: -10928-983=11911 (-10928)+(-983)=11911
Explain the addition and multiplication properties of inequalities
There are many: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are the most common. Each of these operators acts on two numbers to produce a third (which may not be different).
Use the order of operations. PEMDAS.... 1.Parenthesis, 2.Exponents, 3.Multiplication, 4.Division, 5.Addition, 6.Subtraction.... For example, if the problem is 4+3x2 = ? 1. Do the multiplication first because it comes first in the order of operations 2. 3x2= 6, then you add, so you add 4 to 6 and you get 10.
