If you had five of something and someone took away five, you'd be left with nothing.
We write that 5 - 5 = 0
Subtracting a positive is like adding a negative; you're still causing five less things to be there.
5 + (-5) = 0
As long as the negative integer is greater than the positive integer, a negative integer will result from addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
It will be the same as its positive counterpart to the tenth power.
No, the set of negative integers is not closed under addition. When you add two negative integers, the result is always a negative integer. However, if you add a negative integer and a positive integer, the result can be a positive integer, which is not in the set of negative integers. Thus, the set does not satisfy the closure property for addition.
Adding a negative integer is like subtracting a positive one. If you accept that 7 - 7 = 0 (because anything minus itself equals zero) then it stands to reason that 7 + -7 would equal zero as well.
The opposite of the integer 2 is -2. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is found by changing its sign. Therefore, while 2 is a positive integer, -2 is its negative counterpart.

Yes. The product of a negative integer and a positive integer is a negative integer.
When the positive integer is greater than the negative integer.
When they are added together and the absolute value of the positive integer is bigger than the absolute value of the negative integer or when the negative integer is subtracted from the positive integer.
positive
When the absolute value of the positive integer is smaller than the absolute value of the negative one.
No, a positive minus a negative can be either or positive or a negative.
subtract the negative from the positive
Yes, and also a negative integer divided by a negative integer is equal to a positive number (but not necessarily an integer).
