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.
negative. why is this question in math when it should be in chemistry?
Yes
Positive + Negative = Negative Negative + Negative = Positive Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Positive = Negative
Yes.
The rules for the sign (positive or negative) of the result of a multiplication is the same as division. For multiplication: Positive * Positive --> Positive Positive * Negative --> Negative Negative * Positive --> Negative Negative * Negative --> Positive For division: Positive / Positive --> Positive Positive / Negative --> Negative Negative / Positive --> Negative Negative / Negative --> Positive
positive is to add and negative is to subtract in math
A negative times a negative equals a positive A negative times a positive equals a negative A positive times a positive equals a positive
In Math, a negative can be represented with -. A positive can be represented with +, or just without a -.
It is a rule in math!
In math, a positive is a number greater then zero, and a negative number is less than zero.

Negative times negative equals positive.
Yes. A negative subtracted by a negative is a positive. Just remember that two like signs become a positive sign, and two unlike signs become a negative sign.
Yes, when a positive is divided by a negative, it is negative. ex: 4/-2 would equal -2. It takes two negatives to make a positive in math when you are multiplying or dividing.
In math, positive means greater than zero, and negative means less than zero.
you put this in math you idiot
