that's like 6th grade level math, and you could just google something like "rules for multiplying negative numbers"...at least that would be a little bit more of your own work.

I'm going to be blunt here, but are you retarded?
Neg*Neg = Pos Neg*Pos = Neg Pos*Neg = Neg Pos*Pos = Pos In other words, if you're multiplying the same sign together, you get positive. If they're opposite signs, then negative. |

You could've put all your "math" questions into one thread anyway. |

Here's how I remembered the rules when I learned it:
an even number of negatives make a positive --> being even(fair) is good(positive) an odd number of negatives make a negative --> being odd(weird) is bad(negative) I don't know if that helps... I have a strange way in thinking/remember things LOL |
