How do you determine a difference when subtracting two integers that have the same signs?
(-10) - (-5) = (-5) when subtracting a negative number from another negative number if the first number is larger that the second number then you just subtract the to numbers. don't worry about the signs just subtract the numbers when your done put the sign of the first number on again.
What are is the rule for subtracting fractions with negative signs?
the same as adding whole numbers. two negatives = negative. two positives = positive, and a negative and positive depends on the absolute value of the greater number.
How do add negative and positive numbers?
-- write the difference between the numbers without regard for their signs -- give the difference the same sign as the original number with the greater size
Do you change anything to a problem if it is a negative and a positive?
When adding or subtracting a negative and a positive number, you treat it as two separate operations. First, you find the difference between the two numbers ignoring the signs. Then, you assign the sign of the larger number to the result. For example, when adding -5 and 3, you find the difference (5) and assign the negative sign to get -2 as the result.
What is a negative number times a negative number equal?
If the signs of both numbers are the same, the product will be positive. If the signs of the numbers are different, the product will be negative.
