That's not necessarily true for addition and subtraction. It's only true for
multiplicatioin and division.
I look at it this way:
"Negative" can mean 'down' or 'not', and 'not down' is the same as 'up'.

Yes, when multiplying or dividing two negatives the result is a positive number.
For negatives, two negatives equal a positive & all goes for positive
The two negatives cancel out and the number becomes positive.
The answer is positive.
No 2 negatives do not equal a positive because for example. : -2 + -2 = -4. You can see that when you add these 2 negative numbers right here they equal to another negative number.
