What do two postives equal?
Depends. Add two positives and the sum is positive. Divide two positives and the quotient is positive. Multiply two positives and the product is positive.

A negative. if you draw a triangle on your page and put a negative sign in one corner a negative sign in another and a positive sign in the last corner when you are multiplying or dividing negatives and positives you cover up the two signs your using and the one not covered is what its going to be!!! Hope that strategy helps you!!!
