i think yes, because you can combine 2 and -2, which are like terms, so why not 2a and -2a?
It depends on what you do with the negative and positive. If you multiply or divide a positive number and a negative number, then the answer is negative. If you add or subtract a positive number and a negative number, the answer could be negative or positive depending on the numbers involved. If you put a negative sign in front of a positive number, the result is a negative number. If you put a positive sign in front of a negative number (like +(-7)), the result is still negative.
an integer is a negative number and a positive number. It is all the numbers, just like a natural number is all the numbers from 1 and up
Yes it does. Because the it acts like subtraction, but since the positive, negative number scales run backwards like a mirror, subtraction is addition with two negative numbers.
It depends, if your adding -12 to 13 its like minusing 12 so its 1. but if its 11 + -12 its again like minusing 12 so its -1. :)
You will get a positive integer. If you subtract a negative number, you will be adding it. I think of it like 2 minuses equals a plus. :P
-50The product of unlike terms (a negative number and a positive number) is negative while the the product of like terms is positive.

A negative divided or multiplied by a negative is always positive. Just like how in English, a double-negative is positive.
Negative. Only like x like = positive
Negatives and Positives Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Negative = Positive Negative + Positive = Negative Positive + Negative = Negative
yes
No, positive numbers and negative numbers are not like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power, which means they can be combined through addition or subtraction. Positive and negative numbers are simply different categories of real numbers, and while they can be added or subtracted, they do not share the same variable component to be considered like terms.
a negative minus a positive is like addition, you take the negative add the positive, then make that number a negative.Example-5 - 4add them5 + 4= 9make that number a negative= -9
POSITIVE BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A SMALL NUMBER SO LIKE 16 MINUS -4 IT WOULD BE POSITIVE
A positive integer would just be a regular number like 2. A negative integer is a negative number like -2. (2 below zero)
Divide like normal. When dividing, if one number is negative and the other number is positive, the answer is negative. So the answer would be negative. For example, -24/8 = -3.
if it is not like that then the answer wont be write. Well, It is to be known that two negatives make a positive.
