Perhaps you mean minus minus one is plus one. Like subtracting (taking away) a debt is equivalent to adding on. If you bank balance is two dollars in the red (debt) if you add 2 dollars, that debt has gone. minus 2 minus minus 2 is zero, same as minus 2 plus 2 is zero.

Is a negative subtract a negative a positive?
Yes. A negative subtracted by a negative is a positive. Just remember that two like signs become a positive sign, and two unlike signs become a negative sign.
How do you multiply like and unlike signs?
Think of it this way: It's like spreading the negative sign flu that cancels each other out. positive * positive = positive negative * positive = negative positive * negative = negative negative * negative = positive
When multipling a plus sign and a minus sign the end solution would be what sign?
It would be a minus sign. If the two signs are the same, the answer is positive. If the two signs are different, the answer is negative.
Is the sum of two integers with the same sign positive or negative?
if the 2 signs are negative, than the sum is negative. if the 2 signs are positive, than the sum is positive.
How do you divide negative fraction with the same denominator?
Do you mean with a denominator that is also negative? If you do, then it would be just like dividing positive numbers, the answer would be positive. If you divide two numbers and they have different signs, then the answer will be negative. However the task of dividing is the same no matter what the signs are. So... If they are the same sign ---> Positive If they are opposite signs ---> Negative
Is a negative subtract a negative a positive?
Yes. A negative subtracted by a negative is a positive. Just remember that two like signs become a positive sign, and two unlike signs become a negative sign.
What are the rules in adding integers with like and unlike signs?
To add integers with like signs you jut put the positive in front of the answer (you just add and put a positive sign in front of it)
How do you multiply like and unlike signs?
Think of it this way: It's like spreading the negative sign flu that cancels each other out. positive * positive = positive negative * positive = negative positive * negative = negative negative * negative = positive
What is the sign of the product when both integers signs are the same?
It is positive.
When multipling a plus sign and a minus sign the end solution would be what sign?
It would be a minus sign. If the two signs are the same, the answer is positive. If the two signs are different, the answer is negative.
What can you say about the sign of the sum of integers with unlike signs?
Positive + positive = positive Negative + negative = negative Positive + negative will take the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.
Is the sum of two integers with the same sign positive or negative?
if the 2 signs are negative, than the sum is negative. if the 2 signs are positive, than the sum is positive.
Given the trinomial where both the first sign is positive and the second sign is negative the signs of the factors will be?
One positive one negative (apex)
Is the product or the quotinent of two signed numbers that have opposite signs a positive number or a negative number?
The answer will always be Negative in Sign. If they are the same sign, it will always be Positive in Sign.
Can the same rules be used to determine the sign of an integer sum and an integer product?
No.For the sum of integers:-- two positives make a positive-- two negatives make a negative-- the sum of mixed signs is the sign of the one with the greater absolute valueFor the product of integers:-- like signs make a positive-- unlike signs make a negative
How do you multiply integers having unlike sign?
Positive x Positive = Positive Negative x Negative = Positive Positive x Negative = Negative Basically if the signs are the same, the answer will always be positive, and if the signs are different the answer will be negative. Hope this helps.
