well:
Multiplication: for example... -1 X -1= 1(positive) so a negative times negative is always come out positive.
Same thing as dividing too.
Example:
-x + 2= 0
-x= -2 then buy multiplying by -1
(-x= -2) -1
x= 2
Addition and subtractions:
5- (-2)=
because the negative is subtracted it become positive
5 + 2= 7
5 + -2= 3
become positive, because negative 2 is added to a higher positive number.
