EXPLANATION
Positive and negative formulas
Positive = (+)
Negative = (-)
Sum
a) (+) + (+) = (+). Example: 3 + 9 = 12
b) (-) + (-) = (-). Example: ( -2) + (-3) = (-5)
c) (+) + (-) = can be (+) or (-)
If (+) is greater then the result is (+)If (-) is greater then the result is (-)
Example:
18 + (-4) = 14 β positive result8 + (-14) = (-6) β negative result
d) (-) + (+) = Some are (+) and some are (-)
If (+) is greater then the result is (+)If (-) is greater then the result is (-)
Example:
(-7) + 5 = (-2) β the result is negative(-4) + 7 = 3 β the result is positive
Subtraction
a) (+) - (+) = can be (+) or (-)
If the form of the first number is greater then the result is positive (+)If the form of the second number is greater then the result is negative (-)
Example:
8 - 7 = 1 β positive result3 - 8 = (-5) β negative result
b) (-) - (-) = Some are (+) and some are (-)
If the form of the first number is greater than the second number, the result is (+)If the form of the second number is greater then the result is (-)
Example:
(-6) - (-9) = (-6) + 9 = 3 β the result is positive because -6 (first number) is bigger than -9 (second number)(-17) - (-8) = (-17) + 8 = (-9) β the result is negative because -17 (first number) is less than -8 (second number)
c) (+) - (-) = (+)
d) (-) - (+) = (-)
Multiplication
(+) x (+) = (+)
(-) x (-) = (+)
(+) x (-) = (-)
(-) x (+) = (-)
Distribution
(+) : (+) = (+)
(-) : (-) = (+)
(+) : (-) = (-)
(-) : (+) = (-)

The reciprocal of -52 is +52.
