Two negatives equals a positive. Four would also be positive. If you have an odd number of negatives it will be negative. On the other hand, if you have an even amount of negatives, it equals a positive. You have five negatives which is odd. So, your answer is no it will not be positive. It will be negative. I really hoped this helped.:)
