We are concerned with what sign the answer will be when we multiply positives with negatives.

For example, let's multiply "5" and "-2".

Here, 5 is positive number and -2 is negative number.

The answer simply will be the multiplication of 5 and 2, which is 10, but a negative in front.

So,

Final Answer:

5 x -2 = -10

When multiplying a positive number with a negative number, the answer is always negative.
