Becuase in the rule of laws of signs, when you multiply or divide a number that is positve by a negative number or a number that is negative by a positive number (same thing), the product/answer will always be a negative number. But when you multiply/divide a positive number by positive or negative by negative, the product/answer will always be positive number E.g:
-2 x 2= -4 / 2 x (-2)= -4
-2 -:- 2= -1 / 2 -:- (-2)= -1
E.g:
2 x 2=4 / -2 x (-2)=4
2 -:- 2= 1 / -2 -:- (-2)=1
A negative multiplied by another negative will always give a positive answer. E.g. -4 x - 3 = 12
You multiply the numbers just like you would normally except that the product will have a negative sign. Example: -6 X 5 = -30. When you multiply a negative number and a positive number, the product will always be negative. Multiplying two positive numbers or two negative numbers will give you positive products.
No, it does not.
To add a negative number and a positive number: -- Find the difference of their absolute values (their sizes, ignoring their signs). -- Give it the same sign as whichever of the original two numbers had the larger absolute value.
The numbers are the same as positive numbers, just the signs change. Write out the factor pairs as if the number were positive, but make one of the numbers positive and one negative. Now write the same pairs over again and reverse the signs. Negative numbers have twice as many factor pairs as positive numbers do.
A negative number times a positive number will give you a negative product.A negative number times a positive number will give you a negative product.A negative number times a positive number will give you a negative product.A negative number times a positive number will give you a negative product.
A positive number times another positive number will give you a positive answer. If you multiply two negative numbers together, you will also have a positive answer. The only way to get a negative answer is if you multiply a positive by a negative.
A negative number times a negative number gives you a POSITIVE number, not a negative number.
there is no real life situation
A positive number divided by a negative number, or vice versa, will give you a negative number.
Will give you a negative number.
a positive number because a negative plus a negative is a positive so it will give you a positive number
the thing is that when there are two negatives you need to cross out those which will give positive times positive equals positive. this is the rule that you need to learn it. negative*negative=positive positive*positive=positive negative*positive=negative The same thing for devision
2 negatives equal a positive or if you multiply a negative by a positive it is larger negative if you multiply a negative and a negative it become positive because doing something negative times is getting bigger
A negative multiplied by another negative will always give a positive answer. E.g. -4 x - 3 = 12
A positive number multiplied by a positive number will give a positive answer:1 x 1 = 1In contrast, a negative number multiplied by a positive number gives a negative answer:-1 x 1 = -1Finally two negative numbers multiplied together give a positive answer:-1 x -1 = 1
