If we are losing 52 pounds, then our number is -52 since we are losing 52 pounds (adding a negative number to a positive number is the same as subtracting that number).

The opposite of a number is when we negate the number, or multiply it by -1.

A negative number times a negative number is a positive number.

$-52\cdot-1 = 52\cdot1 = 52$

Hope this helped!
