Multiplying positive and negative numbers | Pre-Algebra |
If I multiply a negative times a positive times a negative, I'm going to get a negative
...
One of these two numbers is
negative
...
Or another way to think about it is if I had
2 times 3, I would get 6
...
And that's going to give me a positive number
...
I encourage you to try them out before I
do them
...
Your product is going to be positive

Negative 3 plus 5 is also equal to 2
...
The difference between 12 and 5 is 7, but the numbers are that far apart, but now

help us
...
I recommend that you just
