When adding a negative and a positive would your answer be positive?
Depends on the two numbers, eg. if its -5+2 your answer would be -3. But if your adding -4+8, your answer would be 4.*But when your multiplying a + by a - , the answer is always negative.
Is the product of 33 negative numbers and 2 positive numbers a positive number or a negative number?
(The product of 33 negative numbers) x (2 positive numbers) = (negative sign) x (positive sign) = negative sign
What is adding and subtracting integers?
Integers are whole numbers, both positive and negative. Therefore, adding and subtracting integers would be adding and subtracting whole numbers. Examples: 8+2 -8+2 8-2 -8-2
Can positive and negative make a negative?
Yes, if you are adding 2 numbers together and the value of the negative number is larger than the value of the positive number. Yes, if you are multiplying a positive and a negative number together. Yes, if you are dividing a positive and a negative number by each other.
Adding and subtracting negative and positive numbers?
when youre adding negative numbers, you add them and put a negative sign (ex: -6 + -5=-11) when you add negative and positive numbers(ex: -9 + 7) you subtract the numbers and take the sign of the bigger number (9-7=2, so the answer is -2 because the bigger number, 9, is negative when you subtract 2 negative numbers you add them together and put a negative sign when you subtract a neg. number and a pos. number (ex: -8 - 3) you add the numbers but the 3 becomes negative so the problem becomes -8 + -3. the answer is -11
What are the rules for adding integers?
Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Negative = Negative If it's a negative + a positive, it depends on the numbers. For example: -2 + 1 = -1 -107 + 213 = 106

What is -2 plus -2?
-4
What are the rules for adding positive and negative numbers?
If you are adding a positive number, then this is the same as normal addition. For instance, 4 add positive 5 is 9. negative 1 add positive 8 is 7. If you are adding a negative number, then this is the same as subtracting that number. For instance 6 add negative 1 is 5. negative 7 add negative 2 is negative 9.

Are two negative numbers equal to zero?
Never. The sum of two negative numbers is a negative number with a value less than either of them, e.g. (-1) + (-2) = (-3) Adding two negative numbers is the same as adding their positive absolute values, and expressing the sum as a negative. If the two negative numbers are the same, and you subtract one from the other, the result is 0. e.g. (-2) - (-2) is the same as (-2) + 2 , which equals 0.
Why do numbers have both positive and negative roots?
because you can get a positive number as EITHER a product of 2 positive numbers OR the product of the negatives of the SAME 2 numbers; the product of 2 negative numbers is positive.
What are the rules when adding or subtracting negative numbers?
When subtracting negative numbers change the subtraction sign to a plus and change the second number (which would appear to be positive) to a negative. ex. -14 - 7=?/-14 + -7= -21 When adding negative numbers just add them as they appear. ex. -2 + -5= -7
If your positive and negative number are the same does it become a negative number or positive number?
It depends on what you are doing to the two identical numbers. If you are multiplying them, it becomes a negative. If you are dividing them, it becomes a negative. If you are adding them, it will always be zero (e.g., 2+ -2 = 0, etc.). There are two ways to subtract. If you are subtracting a positive from a negative, the number remains negative. If you are subtracting a negative from a positive, or a negative from a negative, the negative becomes a positive and you just add from there.
