The opposite of the integer 2 is -2. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is found by changing its sign. Therefore, while 2 is a positive integer, -2 is its negative counterpart.
2 - (-4) is equal to 2 + 4. The answer to that is 6.
A negative number. For example: -I -2 I = -2 because -2= 2 and the opposite of 2 is -2.
The answer is negative, no matter what.so.... if you had an equation like........-4/2=xx =-2Basically, if you can't think of what the answer would be, try it with the opposite sign. For example, -4/2=x could be turned into (x)(2) = -4. In this case, the negative is missing, so you would need to put it in. So if a negative number multiplied by a positive number is negative, the opposite must be true: A negative number divided by a positive number gives a negative answer.here is a song that will help with any complication with adding and subtracting negative numbers that my pre-algebra teacher taught me......(thanks Ms.Zachary!)Same sign add and keep,different sign subtract.Take the sign of the larger one,and then you'll be exact.
The additive opposite is +1/2. The multiplicative opposite is -2.

(The product of 33 negative numbers) x (2 positive numbers) = (negative sign) x (positive sign) = negative sign
The quotient of 50 and a number is 2.
In these types of questions, you have to try to isolate the unknown variable.14 = 2 + r - 21.Remember whenever you move ANYTHING over the equals sign, you have to make its sign opposite. Since the r is positive, and we are moving it over the equals sign we have to make it a negative sign. When we move the 14 over, it is currently positive so we make it into a negative.-r = -14 + 2 - 21-r = -12 - 21-r = -43(Eliminate the negative sign)r = 43.
when you are dividing 2 numbers with the same sign the answer is ALWAYS positive but when you are dividing 2 number with opposite signs the answer is ALWAYS negitive. the same is true with multiplication also
Because when you fit in the variables, it wouldn't be true. therefore, you have to flip the inequality sign For example, 3 > 2 True 3(-2) > 2(-2) -6 > -4 False If you change the direction of the inequality symbol, in the same time that you multiply by a negative number, then you find a true statement. 3 > 2 True 3(-2) < 2(-2) -6 < -4 True This is because the greater the absolute value of a negative number, the lesser it is, while the opposite is true for a positive number. When you multiply by a negative, a very large number becomes very small, or the opposite.
