We took our first math test last week. It was on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing negative numbers. When you add two negative numbers it will end up being a negative number. When subtracting two negative numbers it depends on what number is larger. If the negative number is larger it will end up being a negative number. If a positive number is larger then it will end up being positive. When multiplying and dividing two negative numbers it will end up being a positive number. When multiplying and dividing two positive numbers it will end up being a positive number. When multiplying ad dividing a negative and a positive number it will equal a negative number.
Example- -3+4=1
9*-4=-36
Lindsay, take a look at this sentence: “When subtracting two negative numbers it depends on what number is larger.” I think you may have mis-typed that. When subtracting 2 negative numbers… Do you mean like this: -3 – -8? Just take a look at your sentence again. I just found it a bit tough to read and follow. Great first try Lindsay!
Good job Lindsayyy!
