When you have a negative and positive in math does it become a negative?
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.
Are integers always positive or 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
Does a negative number plus a negative number equal a negative?
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.
Does a positive number plus a negative number equals positive or negative?
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. :)
What do you get when you subtract a negative integer from a positive integer?
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
What is the product of 5 and 10?

What is the difference between a positive and negative fraction?
If you mean the difference in terms of numerical value, then it is the positive faction minus the negative faction, which is calculated as the positive fraction plus the absolute value* of the negative fraction - just like the difference between a positive and negative number. * The absolute value of a number is the value of the number ignoring any minus sign; eg abs(-4) = 4 = abs(4). If you mean the difference in terms of where they are on the number line, then the positive fraction is one side of zero (it is greater than zero) and the negative fraction is the other side of zero (it is less than zero).
