For multiplication or division, if the signs of the two numbers are the same (both positive or both negative), the result is positive. If the signs differ, the result is negative. For instance, (–4) × (–5) = 20, but (–6) × 7 = –42. This sign rule extends to divisions as well, so (–10) ÷ (–2) = 5, while 8 ÷ (–2) = –4. Proficiency in handling negatives is crucial for solving equations, interpreting credit/debit transactions, or analyzing temperature variations. Grasping these rules ensures you can manage advanced algebraic expressions without confusion.
