How do you divide integers?
To divide negative and positive numbers, first, look at the signs (= or -) If there is -__divided by -__, that will equal +___.So, same equal positive... and different equals negative.EX.-9 dvided by +3= -3 (different signs, negative answer)+9 divided by -3 = -3 (different signs, negative answer)+9 divided by +3= +3 (same signs, positive answer)-9 divided by -3= +3 (same signs, positive answer)Something that my teacher taught us to help us remember whether it would be positive or negative was the Love-Hate Theory.Love=PositiveHate=NegativeIf you have a positive number divided by a negative number, that would be Love and Hate, so if you love to hate, than that is basically hating, which is negative. Negative divided by a negative would be hate to hate, which is love, so positive. If you need more help, post something on my message board.

Does a negative number times a negative equal a neg answer?
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)
If your negative number is added to a positive number what should your answer be positive oe negative?
Depend on which is larger, that will determine whether your answer is positive or negative. For example -9 + 3 = -6. Polarity (so to speak) will be the larger value.
Negative 9 plus positive 4 equals?
negative 5
When you add a negative and a positive number what will you get?
Either a negative or a positive result depending on the values of the numbers as for example -7+9 = 2 but -9+7 = -2
