Multiple Choice

(positive) x (positive) =

• positive

• negative

• it depends

Examples

• 8x2=16

Multiple Choice

(negative) x (positive) =

• positive

• negative

• it depends

Examples

• (-2) x (3) = -6

• (2) x (-5) = -10

Multiple Choice

(negative) + (positive) =

• positive

• negative

• it depends

Examples

• (-2) + (6) = 4

• (-6) + 2 = -4

Multiple Choice

(negative) + (negative) =

• positive

• negative

• it depends

Examples

• (-3) + (-2) = -5

• (-4) + (-1) = -5

Multiple Choice

(positive) + (negative) =

• positive

• negative

• it depends

Examples

• (6) + (-3) = 3

• (1) + (-5) = -4

Multiple Choice

(positive) + (positive) =

• positive

• negative

• it depends

Examples

• 5 + 3 = 8

• 10 + 2 = 12

Multiple Choice

(positive) - (positive) =

• positive

• negative

• it depends

Examples

• 5 - 2 = 3

• 2 - 5 = -3

Multiple Choice

(positive) - (negative) =

• positive

• negative

• it depends

Examples

• 5 - (-3) = 8

• 1 - (-5) = 6

Multiple Choice

(negative) - (negative) =

• positive

• negative

• it depends

Examples

• -2 - (-5) = 3

• -5 - (-2) = -3

Multiple Choice

(negative) - (positive) =

• positive

• negative

• it depends

Examples
