Multiplying and Dividing Integers. Multiplying and Dividing Integers. Negative x Negative = Positive Positive x Positive = Positive Negative x Positive = Negative Positive x Negative = Negative When multiplying two numbers, if the signs are the same the answers positive.

Multiplying and Dividing Integers • Negative x Negative = Positive • Positive x Positive = Positive • Negative x Positive = Negative • Positive x Negative = Negative • When multiplying two numbers, if the signs are the same the answers positive. • If the signs are different, the answer is negative.
Here’s a way I can Remember! • To remember whether your answer will be positive or negative when MULTIPLYING or DIVIDING, we’ll use:
When multiplying Integers, cover the Two signs you are using Choral Response What sign is left uncovered? Ex.: 5 (-3) Negative, - That is the sign of The answer = -15
You Try! (– 10)(3) = – 30 2 – 5 = – 10 – 11 – 6 = 66
Division It’s not any different! Good News: Ex.: -48 (-4) = + 12
Reminder: Equal means it works both ways!
You try… • (14) (-2) Answer: -7
You Try: = 12 (-36) (- 3) = 210 5 (-7) (-6) = 0
Evaluating Variable Expressions • Evaluate 6a when a = – 3 • 6a = 6 (– 3) • Answer = -18 • Evaluate xyz when x = 2, y = – 4 and z = 6 • xyz = 2(– 4)(6) • Answer = – 48
