If two negaitve signs occur next to each other in an equation, as in 4 -(-2) then the two negatives becomes a positive and you add the two to get 6. Otherwise, you just do what the equation states: -5 + 3 you add; =-2. -5 - 3 you subtract; = -8
On the number line if you subtract a positive you move left. If you add a positive you move right. If add a negative you move left. If you subtract a negative you move right. That is just how I learned it. I don't know a wordy explanation.
wich one
does how many mean add or subtract
When you subtract one number from another you get the difference.You just said it; sum.
two negatives makes a positive, meaning you add. i.e. 2 - -2 = 2+2 = 4
Either.
yes.

2 negatives make a positive
Yes.
In mathematics, the rule that says "two negatives make a positive" is based on the concept of multiplication. When you multiply two negative numbers together, the negative signs cancel each other out to give a positive result. This rule is consistent with the properties of arithmetic and helps maintain consistency in algebraic calculations.
By the signs: 2+2(Add) 2-2(Subtract) +=add -=subtract
Multiplying and dividing two negatives does equal a positive. Adding two negatives equals a negative, but subtracting two negatives may or may not equal a positive. Ex. -2 * -4 = 8 -10/-2 = 5 -2+ -4 = -6 -4- -2 = -2 -2- -4 = 2
you got none
