Learn with an example

🎈 Add:

-64 + -58 = 

  • Since -64 and -58 are both negative, the answer will be negative.
  • First solve an easier problem:
  • 64 + 58 = 122
  • Remember that the answer to the problem you’re solving will be negative:
  • -64 + -58 = -122

🎈 Add:

3 + 7 =

  • Add: 3 + 7 = 10

🎈 Multiply:

5 × 7 =

  • First, ignore any negatives and multiply:
  • 5 × 7 = 35
  • Now find the sign of the result. Since you multiplied a positive number, 5, by a positive number, 7, the result should be positive: 35.
  • So, 5 × 7 = 35.
