If I give you three apples three times, you'll have 9 apples.  3x3=9\n\nIf I give you -3 apples  3 times, you'll have -9 apples.  It's like I'm taking 3 apples away from you 3 times.\n  -3x3=-9\n\nIf I give you 3 apples -3 times, It's like you giving me 3 apples 3 times, I'll have 9 apples and you'll have -9 apples.\n3x-3=-9\n\nIf I give you -3 apples -3 times, it's like you're taking away -3 apples from me 3 times, so'll I'll have -9 apples and you'll have 9 apples.\n-3x-3=9

By integers I assume that you mean negative numbers.  Just remember two negatives make a positive e.g. -4 - -9 = 5

Multiply a negative times a negative and you will get a postive answer.

This can't be answered either "true" or "false". Integers comprise the set of whole numbers (1,2,3,...) A positive integer and a negative integer will have a sum of zero if their absolute values are identical.(Absolute value is defined as the difference between a quantity and zero.So+1 and-1 have identical absolute values and their sum is zero, but +1 and -2 do not have identical absolute values, so their sum is not zero{it is, in fact,-1}).

Think of negative as also meaning "opposite."  \n\nSo "negative times negative" means taking the opposite of a negative.\n\nThe opposite of a negative is a positive.

For the first one, 4<-2<6 does become -2>x>-3 (you do have to flip the signs) and yes, it is still an "And" statement, just in reverse (or in other words, -2>x>-3 is the exact same thing as -3<x<-2). For the second one, you don't actually have to multiply by 10, but you should get the same answer either way. I got 0.84<x<1.76.

Zero is neither a positive nor a negative. Its actually the absence of a number. Its the equilibrium of numbers. Its the place where the numbers start\n\nBoth Negative and Positive are RELATIVE to Zero.\n\n-2 means 2 digits below ZERO\n\n+5 means 5 digits Above ZERO.\n\nHope it helps...\n\n.:Fishie:.

Just multiply the numbers.  positives will get a positive answer.  Odd number of negatives will get a negative answer.  Even number of negatives will get a positive answer.

subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive\n\nmultiplying/dividing like signs (+,+ ; -,-) will give a positive product/quotient\n\nmultiplying/dividing opposite signs will give a negative answers

It is called WRONG. If A is much larger than B, then A+B/A is about A unless you meant (A+B)/A, in which case the result is about 1. In neither case do you get A/B.

Joel, you need some help.  This is one of the easiest questions I have ever heard!  You should know this, man!  You're gonna fail your test if you keep cheating on here and don't actually figure out how it works.  Good luck, brotha'\n\nL = -2 or L(x) = -2

2&#92;2=-2&#92;2\n1=-1\ntherefore the answer is -1.

x:-    0** 2** 4\ny:-  -4** 0** 4\n\ni hope that this helps

idk wat the square root is.... the square root of a negative is not a negative though... a negative times a negative is a positive.... also, this is the 4th ? i have answered of urs

because mathematically speaking +2 is a larger value than \n-2 and people like things with positive value better than things with a negative value.  so thanks for the points

Because when you multiply two negative numbers the negatives cancel each other out and become positive.
