Use a calculator!

To multiply with a negative number, first multiply like multiplying with a positive number and putt a negative sign in front of the answer. The basic rule is a negative number multiplied with a negative number or a positive number multiplied with a positive number equals a positive number. However, a negative number being multiplied with a negative number or vice visa always equal a negative number (unless there is something more than multiplying two numbers). Hope that helps.

Answer 3

When you multiply a positive and a negative together the result is always negative. So 16 x -1 = -16. (Just in case you need this too; when you multiply positive and positive, the results are positive. When you multiply negative and negative, the results are negative.)

Answer 4

The answer is -16 because rules of multiplication are positive times negatives equals negative; and negative time negative equals positive.

Answer 5

Multiply normally, then add sign. The rules for these are:

Negative x negative = Positive
Positive x positive = Positive
Negative x positive = Negative

Answer 6

A represents a positive number,B represents a negative number.
so,A*B= a negative number.
A*A=a positive number
B*B=a positive number

Answer 7

- 16

Answer 8

Answer 9
