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.
It is said that two negatives equal a positive when multiplying them with coefficients.
positive two negatives equal a positive a positive times a positive is a positive.
When combining (adding) two negatives you get a negative. When multiplying two negatives you will get a positive.
Yes, when multiplying or dividing two negatives the result is a positive number.
For negatives, two negatives equal a positive & all goes for positive
When multiplied. Such as -2*-2=4
Only if you multiply or divide them.
The two negatives cancel out and the number becomes positive.
Actually it does, whenever you mulitply and divide two negative and two positive numbers they always equal a positive number. When you multiply and divide a negative and positive they always equal a negative number.
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
Two negatives make a positive in multiplication and division
No
