$\huge ⚘ \bf \ \red{Question}$


Why, if two wrongs don't make a right, do two negatives make a positive in mathematics?​

Answer 1

Because '",negative" is not to be equated with 'wrong".

Negative is very much a ' positive" concept.

That is like saying that "left" is wrong

That brings us back to eons ago when the likes of me could be burned at the stake for being left-handed.

In fact I think that left-handed people should look for civil rights.

We are consistently being discriminated against.

From place settings in restaurants,schools,to design of tools, I could go on." Please don't " I hear you say.

Anyway there is nothing wrong with negative or actions directed to the left, any more than that the positive direction is somehow inherently "right"
