I’d need you to elaborate more, but I hope this helps you at all.

⚠️Multiplication⚠️
If you multiply a positive and a negative you will get a negative
if you multiply two negatives you will get a positive

⚠️Division⚠️
If you divide a positive by a negative you will get a negative
If you divide a negative by a negative you will get a positive
If you divide a negative by a positive you will get a negative .

⚠️Addition⚠️
If you add a negative number to a positive it’s like subtracting the negative from the positive
EX: 3+(-2)=1
If you add two negatives, it’s just like if they were positive, only you add the negative sign
EX: (-2) + (-2) = (-4)

⚠️Subtraction⚠️
If you subtract a negative from a positive it’s the same as adding them and the sum is positive.
EX: 4 - (-2) = 6
If you subtract a positive from a negative it’s like adding but the answer is negative
(-4) - 2 = (-6)
If you subtract two negatives it’s the same as subtracting but the answer is negative
(-4) - (-2) = (-2)

Have a good day!
