What are negatives and positives (math) and can u me learn them

Example of Negative numbers:

-4
-16
-19

Anything with a (-) negative sign is a negative

Positive are just your basic numbers:

5
6
7

example of a negative with a postive:

-9+6

=-3

So if Jimmy owes you 9 dollars, but only has 6 at the moment, he still owes you 3 dollars.

So positives are whole numbers. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the list goes on forever.

Negatives are the numbers to the left of zero on any number line.

Negatives 0 Positives

-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5

When you're adding negatives and positives these are some important rules to remember:
When you have more negatives KEEP the negative sign.
If you have more positives you can get rid of the negative sign.

1. -4 + 2 = -2
When you're adding a negative and a positive think of subtracting.

2. 7+ -3 = 4

Hope this helped!
