Dividing a negative number by a positive number results in a negative answer.
Yes, the negatives cancell out eg. 3--5=3+5
You get a number known as their "product".
negative times negative equals positive negative times positive equals.....you subtract the bigger number by the smaller number and keep the sign of the bigger number positive times positive equals positive im pretty sure thats right but i would make sure with your math teacher abt the second one i said
A negative number. A positive number x a positive number = a positive number A negative number x a negative number = a positive number A positive number x a negative number = a negative Hope this helps :D

That is correct. If you subtract a positive number from a negative number, your result is negative.

Yes.
A little awkwardly phrased, so I'll answer both ways. To subtract a negative from anything, add its positive. To subtract a positive from a negative, the equation is treated as though you are adding two postives, the result is negative.
Subtract and add the sign of the greater number.
-5+-3 = -8 ++ Add -- Add +- Subtract -+ Subtract
In addition different signs you subtract and give the sign of the bigger number. Ex: 6+(-8)= -14
You have to take the negative sign away from the negative number and add them.
you subtract the numbers then he higher number to start out with is the awnser. example: negative 3 - positive 7= 3-7=4 the higher number is 7 so i is positive. the final answer is positive 4
it depends if the numbers are positive or negative. if its a positive minus a negative, or switched, it will be the sign of the greater number.
the number gets lower
