Can you join batteries to make RC last longer?

You could put them in parallel--wire positive to positive, negative to negative, then connect the positive and negative wires to the car. This would give you twice the current capacity, and you'd be okay because the car's only going to take as much power as it needs. If you wired them in series--positive on the first battery to the car, negative on the first battery to positive on the second, negative on the second battery to the car--you'd double the voltage and burn the car out.

When you have a negative and positive in math does it become a negative?

It depends on what you do with the negative and positive. If you multiply or divide a positive number and a negative number, then the answer is negative. If you add or subtract a positive number and a negative number, the answer could be negative or positive depending on the numbers involved. If you put a negative sign in front of a positive number, the result is a negative number. If you put a positive sign in front of a negative number (like +(-7)), the result is still negative.


Why are batteries negative and positive?

And because in an electric circuit electrons flow from negative to positive and if the battery wasn't marked you wouldn't know which way to put it in. If put in backwards it would be like trying to drive your car down a one way street filled with traffic, not very good.
