In addition and subtraction, if the plus sign is larger than the minus sign, then it's a plus. For example:

+10 minus -20 = -10

If the plus sign is smaller than the minus sign, the answer will be a minus.

For example:

-10 minus + 20 = -10

In multiplication, if you have 2 plus signs, the answer will be a plus sign. If you have 2 minus signs, the answer will be a plus sign then, too. But if you have a plus and a minus sign, then the answer will be a minus. For example:

+5 x + 2 = +10

-5 x - 2 = +10

-5 x +2 = -10

Are two pluses equal to minus?

No. You may be thinking of the rule that a minus times a minus gives a plus. So -1 x -1 = +1. Or you may be thinking of using two plus signs. E.g. 1 + + 1 This just means 1 plus the positive version of one. This is just one plus one.


5 - -5 - -6 equals?

well unless its some super-hard math I've never heard of, you change the two minus signs next to each other in to plus signs and go from there. 5+5+6=16 you know, you should be able to figure that out! - + - = + sorry that looks confusing. a minus plus a minus equals a plus! hope this helps!!


Why Two like signs become a positive sign?

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.


Negative add to another negative is?

When you have a minus and a plus sign together, you simply ignore the plus sign. For example -5 + -3 is the same as -5 - 3 which is -8. If you have two minus signs together, you replace them with a plus sign. For example -5 - -3 is the same as -5 + 3 which gives -2. At school I learned a simple rule: 'Minus a minus is a plus'
