Positive(+) times a Positive(+) equals a positive(+). i.e. 8x3=24 Negative(-) times a Negative(-) equals a positive(+). i.e. -3x(-5)=15 Positive(+) times Negative(-) equals a negative(-). i.e. 8x(-8)= -64 Negative(-) times a Positive(+) equals a negative(-). i.e. -15x4= -60
Positive plus positive equals positive. Negative plus negative equals negative. Positive greater than negative equals positive. Negative greater than positive equals negative.
The integer rule states that when adding or subtracting integers, you combine numbers based on their signs. For addition, if the numbers have the same sign, you add their absolute values and keep the common sign. If they have different signs, you subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger one and take the sign of the number with the larger absolute value. For multiplication and division, a positive times or divided by a positive equals positive, a negative times or divided by a negative equals positive, and a positive times or divided by a negative equals negative.
Adding a negative number to a negative number makes a larger negative. In order to solve this you add the numbers together as a positive then add a negative sign.
Negative 1 plus positive 5 equals positive 4. When you add a negative number to a positive number, you effectively subtract the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. In this case, 5 - 1 equals 4.
Actually it doesn't. Add two positive numbers, and you always get a positive result.
Positive 0.75 plus negative 0.25 equals 0.50. When you add a positive number to a negative number, you effectively subtract the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. In this case, 0.75 - 0.25 equals 0.50.
Negative three plus seven equals four. When you add a positive number to a negative number, you subtract the absolute value of the negative from the positive. In this case, 7 - 3 equals 4.
When it comes to numbers (this question was asked in the "Math and Arithmetic" category), adding a negative number to a positive number always equals a negative number.
you make it a positive because negative add negative becomes a positive
A negative times a positive is always a negative. The rest is the same: just multiply as if they are both positive numbers and then add the negative sign at the end.
A positive plus a positive will equal a positive. However a negative minus a negative will not equal a negative. It will equal a positive.
