Answer:

There are two simple rules to remember: When you multiply a negative number by a positive number then the product is always negative. When you multiply two negative numbers or two positive numbers then the product is always positive.

When dividing negatives and positive number be sure to court the signs. If there are two negatives then they will cancel each other out, so if you have an even number (or zero) of negative signs then the answer will be positive
