You get a positive answer when multiplying two alike signs because since its an even number of positive signs, the number will be positive. For example, -2 x -4= 8 since there are an even amount of negative signs.

That's because there are only two options to have "alike signs":* If you multiply two positive numbers, the answer is positive.

* If you multiply two negative numbers, the answer is also positive.
