Why is a negative number multiplied by a negative number a positive number?
The rule goes:negative times negative equals positivenegative times positive equals negativepositive times positive equals positivepositive times negative equals negativeAnswer multiplicationNEGATIVE=OPPOSITEOpposite is just another word for negative, here's why.1. The opposite(negative) of positive is negative.2.The opposite(negative) of negative is positive. NOW WATCH IF YOU DONT THINK SOEX: 5*5=25....CHANGE TO OPPOSITE (NEGATIVE)....-5*-5=25ALSO:5*-5=-25.....THEN...5*5=25.....MY POINT IS...-25 and 25 are opposites of each other.FINAL ANSWER:NEGATIVE IS THE SAME AS OPPOSITENegative sign implies that it must move in the opposite direction. Thus, for example lets say, -5*-1. It's clear meaning is that move in direction(in xy plane)of magnitude 5 and in the direction opposite to that of -5. Thus the expression -5*-1 gives +5.

Why is negative multiply negative equal to positive?
Negative in English terms means "opposite." Multiplication can represent "of". So, negative times negative is the "opposite of the opposite." And the opposite of an opposite is the same, hence positive, because "same" is the opposite of "opposite" and positive is the opposite of negative. So if you put it into English words, it actually makes some sense. In essence, negative and negative "cancel out."

How do you use opposite methods in subtracting integers?
Well I believe you may be referring to the fact that whenever you subtract you actually "add the opposite." Another phrase people may use is to "plus a negative." This is not as accurate as add the opposite. An example would 12-5. It can be written as 12 + -5. You are simply adding the opposite of positive 5 which is negative 5. Now this may seem silly, but where it is useful is when you have a lot of negatives. For example. -10- -5. For some this is confusing until we add the opposite. I can rewrite this as -10 + 5. I simply took the opposite of -5 which was positive 5 and added it to -10. This equals -5. Hope this helps.
