15 - 1 = ?
14 positive
when adding a negative with a positive the answer isn't always negative?
No. When adding and subtracting, the sign depends upon the numbers.
When multiplying and dividing a negative and a positive, the answer is negative.
thank you
You're welcome.
so what if you have a -18 divided by -3 is the answer then 6?
Yes,
thank you
You're welcome.
can you just clear this up for me...
a negative times a negative is a positive? a negative divided by a negative is a positive also?
Right.
ok..and a negative times a positive is a negative and the same for dividing a negative by a positive it is always negative?
Right.
Thank you...after awhile of doing these I start to get confused so I wrote it down now. Thanks again.
You're very welcome. It is confusing -- but I'm glad you've got it.
