James Driscoll (Spaceman): Multiplying negatives produces negatives  (19-Jul-2002)

>How much is 5*-5? Also 25? How come both -5*-5 and 5*-5 are equal to 25?

That would be your prob that
they equal,
it means you goofed.

I would not have such math.
my multiplcation of negatives do not
create magical positives.


How many negatives does it take to make one positive?
how many do you need to multiply to make
a negative positive?

>Your addition is fine, you just don't know how to do multiplication.

No,
actually I do,
I know what it was based upon too.
addition.

too bad you can't figure that out.
adding negatives produces negatives.
so multiplying such should do the same.

It's that simple
I see you don't get addition of negatives at all huh?
