integers - does an uneven amount of negatives in a multiplication question mean the answer will be positive or negative?


e.g -1 x -6 x 5 x -7 x -9 = 1890 or -1890?

Verified Answer :

It depends on how many negative numbers are in the equation. For example the answer to that problem is a positive 1890. Because a positive times a negative equals a negative but a negative times a negative equals a positive.
