When you times 2 positive numbers together, you get a positive answer. When you times 2 negative numbers together, you get a positive answer. When you times a positive number and a negative number, you get a negative answer. (e.g. -2 x 4 is the same as -2 + -2 + -2 + -2, which is the same as -2 - 2 - 2 - 2 = -8)
