two negatives makes a positive, meaning you add. i.e. 2 - -2 = 2+2 = 4
By the signs: 2+2(Add) 2-2(Subtract) +=add -=subtract
Adding and subtracting negatives and positives -6+6=0 -6+-6=-12 -6+8=2 8+-7+14+-6=9 split them and do them by problem. Dividing fractions 24%-3=-8 if they are both negatives then its a positive then if there is a negative its a negative.
When you have 2 positives you add them.
Adding negatives? You get a negative. But if you multiply/divide 2 negatives, that's a positive.

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.
On the number line if you subtract a positive you move left. If you add a positive you move right. If add a negative you move left. If you subtract a negative you move right. That is just how I learned it. I don't know a wordy explanation.
2 negatives make a positive
If two negaitve signs occur next to each other in an equation, as in 4 -(-2) then the two negatives becomes a positive and you add the two to get 6. Otherwise, you just do what the equation states: -5 + 3 you add; =-2. -5 - 3 you subtract; = -8

You get a negative

When you have 2 positives you add them.
