Best Answer

A negative times a negative always equals a positive.

If I take -3 x -3 =9

I then change the sign on one side. What is done on one side I have to do on the other.

So...-3 becomes 3 on the left and because I changed the one side, I have to change the other. So, the other -3 becomes 3.

Now...3 x 3 = 9
