two negatives makes a positive, meaning you add. i.e. 2 - -2 = 2+2 = 4
Either.
Adding negatives? You get a negative. But if you multiply/divide 2 negatives, that's a positive.
Two negatives make a positive in multiplication and division
The way you have worded your question is a bit tricky.How do you add negatives? - by adding the numbers themselves and making the answer negative.If this is not your question, please reword it and re-ask it. :-)
When you have two negatives, you add the magnitudes, but since, you have both negatives, the direction of the resultant magnitude is along the negative direction, so you add the magnitude and put the negative sign.

Yes.
+ add + = - - Add - = + + add - = -
When combining (adding) two negatives you get a negative. When multiplying two negatives you will get a positive.
-84
You get a negative
two negatives make a larger negative -9+ -2= -11 -4+ -34= -38
Either.
When two negatives are next to each other, they cancel each other out and result in a positive. This rule applies in mathematical operations such as multiplication or division.

It is said that two negatives equal a positive when multiplying them with coefficients.
