A negative number. For example: -I -2 I = -2 because -2= 2 and the opposite of 2 is -2.
2 - (-4) is equal to 2 + 4. The answer to that is 6.
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
A negative can be thought of as being the opposite of something. The opposite of a negative is positive so the negative of a negative is positive. Example: (-2)(-3) = (-1)(2)(-1)(3) = (-1)(-1)(2)(3) = (-1)2(6) = (1)(6) = 6
If I'm not mistaken its 2 of the same type of integer ( negative negative/positive positive ) equal the same type of integer EX: -1 - (-1)= -1 and if the integers are opposite ( positive negative/negative positive ) then its the sign of the higher number EX: -2 - 6 = 4
