why does math seem so stupid?!

As in multiplying and dividing negative and positive integers?

Well, when you multiply or divide two positive integers, the product or quotient is always positive

If you multiply or divide one negative and one positive integer, the product or quotient will be negative

If you multiply or divide two negative integers, the outcome will be positive because they basically cancel each other out

Also, if you multiply or divide two negatives and then multiply or divide it by one more negative, the answer will be negative because you first had a positive, but then multiplied it by a negative which would become a negative

I really hope this helps!

Math is not stupid. You just may not understand it. Study and you will.

What Tiddle said :) Math is not stupid, just most people "hate" math because they don't understand it and it gets very confusing. If someone doesn't understand social studies and has a hard time figuring it out, does that mean it's stupid? Nope! Math can be difficult sometimes, but you just have to go over it.

Ok, I understand what you are saying. It's just I have this test and I'm like freaking out right now!!!! Could you please help me? I don't know how to explain to someone how to devide or multiply integers.... Any ideas?

Exactly! Just don't give up and you will be fine.

Got this from google hope it helps.

1. To multiply or divide signed integers, always multiply or divide the absolute values and use these rules to determine the sign of the answer: The product of two positive integers or two negative integers is positive. The product of a positive integer and a negative integer is negative.

i disagree 

Explanation is very simple:

   If you multiply two positive integers, you will get a positive integer as an answer.

   If you multiply one positive integer and one negative integer, then you will get a negative integer as an answer.

   If you multiply two negative integers, then you will get a positive integer as an answer.

If you need any more help, comment again.

Thanks guys!!!! you helped me SOOO much!!!! 

Are you the question asker, AmandaXX? I'm glad we were of help to you. I personally think Saseflower's explanation of integers is the best.

Yes, Mathematician, I am the question asker. And maybe hers is the best...But all of them really helped me! 

I never knew about this website... But it's actually really useful!

Your welcome! And thank you, Mathematician :) I thought the same exact thing when I found this website... I love it so much, and it's nice to be able to get help and help others

Ya right? I wish I could actually help others... but I think I can only get help... I'm really THAT bad.

I bet you aren't! I remember CPhill telling me to just try your hardest, and even if you aren't sure, just give it a go :)

Thanks!
