To add a positive number to a negative number, subtract the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. |
Card: 6 / 30 |
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart. For Example, 4 - (-2) = 4 + 2 = 6 |
Card: 12 / 30 |
If x is a positive number and y is a negative number, What is the result of x + y? |
Card: 13 / 30 |
The result will depend on the absolute values of x and y. If |y| < x, the result is positive. If |y| > x, the result is negative. |

Card: 18 / 30 |
The product of a positive number and a negative number is negative. For Example, 4 x (-3) = -12. |
Card: 20 / 30 |
The product of two positive numbers is always positive. For Example, 4 x 5 = 20 |
Card: 24 / 30 |
Subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding its absolute value. For Example, 5 - (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8 |
Card: 26 / 30 |
The product is positive if there is an even number of negative factors and negative if there is an odd number of negative factors. For Example, (-2) x (-3) x 4 = 24 which is positive and (-2) x 3 x (-4) = 24 which is also positive. |
