Some basic math:
- Two negatives make a positive: −2 × −4 = 8
- A negative number multiplied by a positive one make a negative number: 2 × −4 = −8
- BODMAS
o This is an acronym for the order in which mathematical operations are performed. It
stands for Brackets, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction and this is
the order in which you should carry out operations within an equation.
