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:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking an algebraic approach
let the number be n, then (n - 17) is 17 subtracted from number and
- 2(n - 17) = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
n - 17 = 6 ( add 17 to both sides )
n = 23
Thus Julio's number was 23
