- Two numbers with opposite signs always get subtracted and the resulting number will carry the sign of larger number.
Rules of Multiplication/ Division:
- The product/quotient of two similar sign numbers is always positive.
- The product/quotient of two numbers with opposite signs is always negative.
In order to translate the sentence into an equation
Let x be the number of cards Tyler has
