Multiplying and Dividing
 When
you multiply or divide two
positive values, the answer is always
POSITIVE.
(+)(+) = (+)
 When
you multiply or divide two
negative values, the answer is
always Positive.
(-)(-) = (-)
Multiplying and Dividing
 When
you multiply or divide a
positive value and negative value,
the answer is always NEGATIVE.
(+)(-) = (-)
Adding and Subtracting
 When
adding two positives, the
answer is always positive.
 When
adding two negatives, the
answer is always negative. (Just add
the two numbers, and put a negative
sign in front.)
Adding and Subtracting Adding and
Subtracting
 When
adding a positive and a
negative, the answer will be positive
if the largest number is positive, or it
will be negative if the largest number
is negative.
-23 + 13 = +/-??
23 + -13 = +/-??
Adding and Subtracting
 When
you are adding or subtracting
a negative, you will have two signs
beside each other. Circle them and
decide whether that means you add
or subtract.
4 + (-3) = ?? means 4 +/- 3 ???
4 – (-3) = ?? means 4 +/- 3 ???
Don’t forget…

When subtracting a negative, you change
the two negatives to a positive sign!!
15 – (-5) = 15 + 5 = ??

A helpful hint… If you have difficulties with
integers, think about the values as money
(negative: owing and positive: receiving)
