When you add a positive number by a negative number will it be negative or positive?

That depends on the values of the given numbers but a positive number multiplied by a negative number will be negative


If you add a negative and a negative it equals?

Adding a negative number to a negative number makes a larger negative. In order to solve this you add the numbers together as a positive then add a negative sign.


How do you subtract a positive and negative number?

You have to take the negative sign away from the negative number and add them.


Do you add or subtract when you have a negative number and a positive?

Subtract and add the sign of the greater number.


How do you add negative integers without using the number line?

if they are both negative, add like they are positive numbers, but just add the negative sign.


When you add a negative and negative number do you add or subtract?

you add and keep the same sign its simple ex. -4+-85=-89


When you add a positive number to a negative number do uyou end up with positive or a negative number?

The sign of the sum is the same as the sign of whichever original number is larger.


Does an inequality sign change in an equation when both sides are multipled or divided by negative number?

The sign changes if you multiply/divide by a negative number. It stays the same if you add/subtract by a negative number.


When you add a positive and negative number together how do you determine the sign of the answer?

You subtract smaller number from larger and take sign of the larger For example negative 7 + 4 = -3


When you add numbers that have different signs will you always get a negative number?

No. When you add a positive and negative number, the bigger one determines the sign of the result. For example, when you add -5 and 3, the result will be negative because the negative number is larger. When you add -4 and 6, the result will be positive because the positive number is larger.


Why is a negative number times a positive number always negative?

Take a simple multiplication question such as 2x3It mean that there are 2 groups and these groups each have 3 things in them (or 3 groups each with 2 things)So you add the groups up and get 6Now if you have 2x-3 you have 2 groups and they each have -3 things in them. You add all the negatives 3s up just like you did in the last question and have -6.It is difficult to imagine -3 things or -6 things, so just think of multiplying by a negative will reverse the sign (kind of like reversing the polarity of battery terminals). So if you reverse them one time (negative X positive) then it is opposite of what it was:If the number to be multiplied by is Positive, then the answer is negative : Negative X Positive = Negative.If the number to be multiplied by is Negative, then the answer is positive : Negative X Negative = Positive.If you multiply a number by a positive, it does not reverse the sign: Positive x something equals the a number with the same sign as the something.


Is a negative number divided by a positive number is Positive or a negative?

The answer is negative, no matter what.so.... if you had an equation like........-4/2=xx =-2Basically, if you can't think of what the answer would be, try it with the opposite sign. For example, -4/2=x could be turned into (x)(2) = -4. In this case, the negative is missing, so you would need to put it in. So if a negative number multiplied by a positive number is negative, the opposite must be true: A negative number divided by a positive number gives a negative answer.here is a song that will help with any complication with adding and subtracting negative numbers that my pre-algebra teacher taught me......(thanks Ms.Zachary!)Same sign add and keep,different sign subtract.Take the sign of the larger one,and then you'll be exact.
