Like signs give a positive answer.
Unlike signs give a negative answer.
The result in such cases is always negative.
divide them or multiply then put a negative because to different signs make a negative to of the same signs make a positive
Adding integers, if they have the same sign, add their absolute values and keep the same sign. Subtracting, change the sign of the 2nd number and the add using rules of addition. Multiplying and dividing, Divide the absolute values, if the signs are the same the answer is positive, if the signs are different the answer is negative.
The examples show that, to find the of two integers with unlike signs first find the absolute value of each integers.
It's a positive number. Here's the rule: In multiplication and division . . . -- If both numbers have the same sign, then the result of multiplying or dividing them is positive. -- If the two numbers have different signs, then the result of multiplying or dividing them is negative.
The product or quotient of two numbers that have the same sign is positive. The product or quotient of two numbers with different signs is negative.
To add two integers with unlike signs: -- Find the difference between their sizes, ignoring their signs. -- Give the difference the sign of the integer with the larger size.
The answer is always positive (or 0).
positive x positive = positive negative x negative = positive positive x negative = negative negative x positive = negative The same rules apply for dividing, since dividing is actually multiplying by the reciprical.
One rule is that the product of two integers with unlike signs will have a minus sign for the product.
The value of the quotient of two integers with different signs is the same as if the signs were the same. Because the numbers have different signs, the quotient is negative.
If the signs (positive/negative) are the same, the answer is going to be positive. If the signs are different, the answer going to be negative.
