Yes and no. A negative number and it's opposite are 'integers.' Yes, a negative and a negative multiplied together give you a positive. The two negative signs cancel out making it positive. But no, a positive and a positive multiplied together do not give you a negative. When you subtract positive numbers you can get a negative, but not when multiplying. If you were to do a positive times a negative it would be negative because the positive can't cancel it out. Example: -3 · -3 = 9. [] 3 · 3 = 9. [] -3 · 3 = -9. Other than the positive number part, the statement is true about the negatives. I hope that helped!

Answer: y=−12x+3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: shameeka sold 20 hamsters to the store.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hamsters that shameeka sold to the store.
Let y represent the number of hamsters that the pet store had initially.
Shameeka sold her hamsters to a pet store. This doubled the number of hamsters in the store. It means that
x + y = 2y
x = 2y - y
x = y
Then the store got six more hamsters. If the pet store has 46 hamsters now, it means that
2y + 6 = 46
2y = 46 - 6
2y = 40
y = 40/2
y = 20
Since x = y, then
x = 20
