Why does a negative plus a negative equal a negative but a negative times a negative equial a positive?
In mathematics, a negative plus a negative results in a negative because you are essentially combining two debts or losses, which increases the overall debt. However, a negative times a negative equals a positive due to the properties of multiplication and the need for consistency in the arithmetic system; multiplying a negative by a negative reverses the direction of the number line, resulting in a positive value. This distinction helps maintain coherent mathematical rules and operations.
