I feel that two negatives are positive because you add* your two negative integers* together, you would be doing this: -+- (negative + negative) so the response is, is that if two integers where both negative, you would add, just like if there were two positives, you would add, but not if you have different signs. (positive+negative) you would subtract. Just as the same with negative + positive. [REVIEW: if the sign is the same, add, if the sign is different, you subtract.]
*=you may not always add *=integers- a fancy word for numbers.

ViviIn mathematics, the rule that says "two negatives make a positive" is based on the concept of multiplication. When you multiply two negative numbers together, the negative signs cancel each other out to give a positive result. This rule is consistent with the properties of arithmetic and helps maintain consistency in algebraic calculations.
