What is greater negative 2 o positive 3?
Positive 3 is > 0 while, negative 2 is < 0. So positive 3 > negative 2.
What is 6 divided by negative 2?
3
A negative number minus a positive number equal?
positive + positive = add (e.g. 2 + 1 = 3)positive + negative = take (e.g. 2 + -1 = 2 - 1 = 1)positive - positive = take (e.g. 2 - 1 = 1)positive - negative = add (e.g. 2 - -1 = 2 + 1 = 3)negative + positive = add (e.g. -2 + 1 = -1)negative + negative = take (e.g. -2 + -1 = -2 - 1 = -3)negative - positive = take (e.g. -2 - 1 = -3)negative - negative = add (e.g. -2 - -1 = -2 + 1 = -1)
What is positive 3 plus negative 5 minus negative 2 minus positive 4?
Positive 3 plus negative 5 minus negative 2 minus positive 4 is equal to -4.
Is negative and negative positive or negative?
It depends on the arithmetic operation you are performing:---------------------------------In AdditionNegatives and negatives have a negative sum. The only way to obtain a positive sum is to have a larger positive value than negative value.(-1) + (-2) = (-3)----------------------------In subtractionSubtracting a negative number is the same as adding its negative value (which is positive).(-1) - (-3) = (-1) + 3 = 2-------------------------------In MultiplicationThe product of two negatives is a positive. The product of a negative and a positive is negative.(-1) x (-2) = 2(-3) x (4) = (-12)------------------------------In DivisionDividing a negative by a negative yields a positive number.Dividing a negative by a positive, or a positive by a negative, yields a negative number.(-4) / (-2) = 2(-4) / 2 = (-2)4 / (-2) = (-2)By re-multiplying from the results, you can see that this holds true.
Does a negative number plus a negative number equal a positive or a negative?
Negative. Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive. -2 + -3= -2 - 3= -5, not 1
What a negative divided by a positive?
A negative divided by a positive is negative. An example is -2/6= -3
What are the rules for multiplying or dividing negative and positive numbers?
Positive x Positive = Positive: 3 x 2 = 6Negative x Negative = Positive: (-2) x (-8) = 16Negative x Positive = Negative: (-3) x 4 = -12Positive x Negative = Negative: 3 x (-4) = -12
Why is a negative multiplied by a negative equal to a positive?
A negative can be thought of as being the opposite of something. The opposite of a negative is positive so the negative of a negative is positive. Example: (-2)(-3) = (-1)(2)(-1)(3) = (-1)(-1)(2)(3) = (-1)2(6) = (1)(6) = 6
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
What does positive 3 minus negative 2 equal?
-3 - (-2) = -3 + (+2) = -3 + 2 = -1
