  • Negative + Positive → subtract and keep sign of larger number
    Example: -3 + 7 = 4 (because 7 - 3 = 4 and 7 is positive)
  • Negative - Positive → subtract and keep negative
    Example: -5 - 3 = -8
  • Two negatives added → more negative!
    Example: -4 + (-5) = -9
  • Subtracting a negative → same as adding a positive
    Example: 3 - (-2) = 5

  • Negative × Negative = Positive
    Example: -3 × -4 = 12
  • Negative × Positive = Negative
    Example: -5 × 2 = -10
  • Same signs = Positive
    Example: -6 ÷ -2 = 3
  • Different signs = Negative
    Example: 12 ÷ -4 = -3

  • Absolute value is always non-negative
    Example: |-7| = 7, |4| = 4
  • Comparing negatives: The "more negative" number is smaller
    Example: -8 < -3 (even though 8 > 3)
  • Negative vs. positive: Any negative is less than any positive
    Example: -1 < 0 < 1
Expression Result Explanation
-3 + 5 2 Negative + Positive; 5 > 3 → positive result
-4 - 7 -11 More negative
-6 × -2 12 Negative × Negative = Positive
12 ÷ -4 -3 Positive ÷ Negative = Negative
|-5| + |3| 8 Absolute values are always positive
