Let unknown number be x:-
(-1) x 9x = (-1) x 36

What times 9 is 36? Its the same question (the negatives don't matter when the multiplier is a positive number).
-9 x 4 = -36.
But -9 x -4 = +36.

This can be written as an equation:
n*(-9) = -36
n = (-36)/(-9)
n = 4

-9x=-36
divide both sides by -9 and the answer is x=4

+4
when multiplying with negatives and positives, remember:
even number of negatives will equal positive
odd number of negatives will equal negative.
just multiply and divide like normal(ignore the neg/pos)
after you have the answer, add up the negative symbols to figure out of the final answer is negative or positive.
