In order to multiply two numbers together when one or more of them is negative, you start by multiplying them normally. In this case 4x7 = 28. The next step is to assess whether or not the answer is a negative or positive. If the two numbers being multiplied were the same (both negative or both positive) then the answer is positive. Otherwise, it is negative. In this case, we had -4 and -7 which are both negative, so the answer is positive 28. Thus the question can be rewritten as 2x28. This comes out as 56. Therefore 2 times negative 4 times negative 7 is 56.
the answer is -4
No, a negative number times a negative number will equal a positive answer. e.g. -2 x-2 = 4 (a positive 4) e.g. -3 x -3 = 9 (positive)
It could equal both a negagtive number or a positive number. To get a definite positive or negative you times or divide. Well in addition and subtraction negative plus a negative equals a bigger negative. Kinda like -4+-4 =-8, but in multiplication and division 2 negatives equal a positive. -2 times-2 =positive 4.
negative four times two = ......
A negative times a negative is a positive (-4)(-5) = positive 20
Because when two negative numbers times each other the answer is always a positive. It is a maths term and it is true (cross my heart).
5 times negative 4 is equal to negative 20.
Seven minus negative two times negative 4 is equal to -1
A negative times a negative is always positive. To see why this is, see the link below.
The same as +4 times +8. The product of two negative numbers is positive.
negative 2
No Actually... x^(-y) is equal to 1/x^y. 2^(-2) is equal to 1/2^2 which is equal to 1/4 or 0.25.
