Question

Hi, I was wondering why (-1)(-1)(-1)(-2) equals 2 but (-2)(-4)(-3) equals -24. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Because when you add negatives together it goes more down because you are adding negatives together. if you add 2 negatives it decreases in value but when you subtract 2 negatives from each other the number increases.

Answer 2

-1*-1= 2;2*-1=-1;-1*-2=2

Explanation:

negative times neg equals positive
