HELP WITH MATH please!!!?

Question

ok i need to know about negitives and positives i need to understand PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!like negitive plus a negitive positve plus a negitive ex.-9 + 16 please help me desprete

Answer 1

-9+16 equals the same as 16-9 which is 7!

Here are the basic rules:

plus times plus = PLUS
minus times plus = MINUS
plus times minus = MINUS
minus times minus = PLUS

Answer 2

ok a positive plus a positive will always be positive

a negative plus a negative will always be negative. just add the two numbers together and make it negaative. (-5+-5= -10)

a negative plus a positive is different. if you have -5 + 10 you subtract the postive of bothe numbers (10 - 5) you get five. You then make the answer the sign that the biggest number is. In this case it's positive so -5 +10 = 5

When multiply 2 negatives you get a positive.

when multiplying a negative and a positive you get a negative.

when subtracting with negatives follow these steps
5- - 3.
1 keep the 1 number the same
change the subtract to add 5+ -3
change the sign of the second number. 5+3
add or subtract (answer is 8)

Hope i helped

Answer 3

draw a number line that goes below and above zero . Like this -10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...... then count from -9 ...... count 16 places from the -9 (going towards the 0) and where you land is your answer . Good Luck :)

Answer 4

okay
if u have -9+16
u should suppose it as 16-9
if u have 2 - like -3-4 u put a - then add it up which will mean -7
-5+9=4
-10+4=-6 u take the higher number and then do it
-9-1=-10
-4+9=5

Answer 5

-9+16=7 it is really quite simple. if u have -3+ -3= -6 but if u have -3 x -3=9
negative times negative=postive
negative + negative=negative
negative times postive=negative
negative + postive=negative or postive it depends on the numbers for example -4+-4= -8 or -4+4=0 or -4+5=1
hope that helps

Answer 6

Its a negative times a negative that makes a positive. -9+16 = 7
The simplest way to remember is draw a number line when doing addition and subtraction and remember a 2 negatives make a positive when doing division or multiplication. -1*-1=1
1*-1=-1

Answer 7

Okay, first take a breath. Now, have you studied number lines? They work kind of like this...

-5__-4__-3__-2__-1__*0*__1__2__3__4__5

Okay, this number line goes from -5 up to 5. Find the first number in your equation....for example, 3. Put your finger ON the number 3. If the sign is (-), be prepared to slide your finger to the left <. So, 3 - 5= -2. Just slide your finger down 5 places. If two minus signs ever touch, consider them magically changed to positive. ex. 3-(-3)=6 In your case (-9+16), you're going to go RIGHT on the number line because it's a "plus" sign.

Ugh...go google "number line."

Answer 8

first of all, there are no such things as negatives. it's all about adding and subtracting positive numbers. negatives is just a concept.

-5 + -6 = ?
is really
0 - 5 - 6 = - 11

16 + -9 = ?
nope, sorry in reality it is...
16 - 9 = 7

for now make your teacher happy by believing. once you are in college they will tell you the truth about negatives.

Answer 9

well just think of this way while doing whatever your doing make a number line and number as far as you want and start working with it for example this is a problem that we did today at school

ex. -9 -(-12) the answer to that would be the differ ence to 12-9 which would be positive do you know what SADS stands for please replay if can.

Answer 10

subtract 16 from 9

= 7

since the 16 (largest number) is positive, the answer is positive.
