3 negative numbers are three negative numbers.
There are a lot of things you can do with them:
-- You can add them up. Their sum is always a negative number.
-- You can add two of them and subtract the third one from the sum. The result
could be a positive number or it could be a negative number. It depends on the
three negative numbers you started with.
-- You can multiply them all together. The product is always a negative number.
-- You can multiply all of their absolute values together. The product is always
a positive number.
-- You can multiply two of them, and divide the product by the third one.
The result is always a negative number.
-- You can multiply two of them, then raise the product to the power of
the third one. The result is always a positive number.
-- You can divide one of them by another one, then raise the quotient to
the power of the third one. The result is always a positive number.
But, as I said at the top, 3 negative numbers are never anything else other than
three negative numbers.

Negative first, then zero and then the positive.
marissa subtracted a negative number from a positive number. her result was negative. is that reasonable?
No. When you subtract negative numbers, they have the same effect as if you added a positive number. In this scenario as described, the only result would be a positive number.
What are the rules for adding and subtracting integers?
when you add two positive integers the answer is always positive when you add two negative integers the answer is positive when you add one negative and on positive integer, the answer is negative subtracting two negative numbers gets a negative answer subtracting two positive numbers- the answer depends subtracting a negative and positive number- the answer depends, the positive number would have to be bigger than the negative to achieve a negative number, and if the positive number is less, than the answer is still negative
How would you Explain how you would decide whether the product of three numbers is positive or negative?
If all three numbers are positive then the product obviously has to be positive. If TWO of the three numbers are negative, then the product is also positive. But if exactly ONE of the three numbers is negative or if all THREE are negative, then the product must be negative. In general, a product of numbers is negative if an ODD NUMBER of the terms is negative.
When dividing negative number by a positive number what is the results?
A negative number divided by a positive number will be a negative number. For example: -20 / 4 = -5 -100 / 2 = -50 Here are the other cases of division by positive or negative numbers. A negative number divided by a negative number would be a positive number. A positive number divided by a positive number would be a positive number. A positive number divided by a negative number would be a negative number.
How do you multiply a negative number by a positive number?
You multiply the numbers just like you would normally except that the product will have a negative sign. Example: -6 X 5 = -30. When you multiply a negative number and a positive number, the product will always be negative. Multiplying two positive numbers or two negative numbers will give you positive products.
What does a negative number plus a positive number equal?
In this case, it would depend on how high thepositive number is. for example: negative 10 plus positive 12 would equal positive 2 because the ten negative numbers would cancel out ten of the positive twelve numbers. So the answer would be a positive number but ONLY IF you could take the sign away from the number and the positive number was higher.
Is 0.87 a positive number?
Yes 0.87 is a positive number. Negative numbers are preceded by the "-" sign. So "-0.87" would be a negative number.
How would you write out a conditions when the sum of a positive number and several negative numbers will be positive?
if p represents your positive number, and n represents all of your negative numbers, then: |∑n| < p
How you would order from least to greatest three numbers that include a positive number a negative number and zero?
Negative first, then zero and then the positive.
What is a positive number plus a negative number?
You didn't say what the numbers were but if the negative number was of greater value (for example -2 + 1) than your answer would be negative. But if the positive number had greater value (2 + -1) than your answer would be positive.

What is the quotient of 2 integers with the same sign?
It would be a positive number. A negative number divided by a negative number would be positive. A positive number divided by a positive number would also be positive. So, the quotient of 2 integers with the same sign will be a positive number, regardless of which sign the two numbers had.

Is 7 plus 1 a positive or a negative?
7+1=8 Eight, the sum of these two numbers, is a positive number. The only way these two specific numbers could combine to create a positive number would be if they were both negative, if seven was negative or if they were multiplied together and one was a negative number.
