>>12840235>negative times a negativeRemoving negative numbers, which is the same as going further away from the negatives, which turns out that going further away from the negatives is also what happens when you add, so - ( - isn't the same as + it's just the result that is the same. Think of it as push and pull, both are different things but the result is the same, if you add you pull the number up, if you remove negatives you push the number up. Now with all of that said + ( + should make sense since you are adding a positive number, so instead of pushing you are pulling it up.
