(-2)(-7) equals Answer: -14
4+ -18 Answer: -14
Just so Im not confused
Two negatives is a positive -- so the first one is wrong.
So it is just 14
14= -14 right?
Right.
To get the answer to (-2)(-7), you need to multiply -2 by -7. When you multiply two negative numbers, the result is positive. So, in this case, -2 times -7 equals 14, and since both numbers are negative, the answer is -14.
For the second question, to find the answer to 4 + -18, you need to add 4 and -18. When you add a positive number and a negative number, you subtract the absolute values and keep the sign of the larger number. In this case, the absolute value of 4 is smaller than the absolute value of -18, so you subtract 4 from 18, which gives you 14. Since -18 is the larger number and it is negative, the answer is -14.
