Best Answer

For any number A, the opposite of A is -A. In this case we have -A to start with.
The opposite of -A is -(-A). The product of two negatives is always a positive so -(-A)=A.
Using this model, the opposite of 14 is -14. Furthermore, the opposite of -14 is 14.

We use this concept when we solve equations. We can add the opposite of a number to both sides.

Negative in English terms means "opposite." Multiplication can represent "of". So, negative times negative is the "opposite of the opposite."

So if you put it into English words, it actually makes some sense. In essence, negative and negative "cancel out."
