The answer is -24 because -1 times -1 is positive 1 and postive 1 minus 25 will give you a negative 24

(-1)(-1) part goes first. so -1 x -1 = 1 because 2 negatives make a positive. 1- 25= -24.

(-1)(-1) is 1, and 1 - 25 is -24. You do the parentheses first and then subtract the 25.
The answer is -24.

When you MULTIPLY negative numbers times one another, you get a positive answer. This is because you are taking the negative part and multiplying it by a negative - the negative of a negative is a positive.
So, negative one times negative one is positive one.
Remember that the number line runs from negative infinity to zero to positive infinity. So imagine these numbers on a number line.
If you have negative infinity on the left, zero in the middle, and positive infinity on the right. Where would the number negative one be?
On the left.
When you subtract numbers, you move them further to the left.
So, you have one minus 25. Move yourself to the left by 25 on the number line, from positive one, and you get negative 24.
