suppose we want to find what is:

-2×-3= ?

let's use what we know

suppose I take

-2 and add 2 to it I get zero

-2+2=0

now i multiply LHS and RHS with -3

-3(-2+2)=0×-3

this simplifies into

-3×-2+-3×2=0

-3×-2-6=0

-3×-2=6

thus we find out that negative times negative is positive .....

if it's so then only our math works correctly....


SRK1729: then why mathematics works like this , what the real connection between positive and negative and why mathematics can't exit without it
Marsmars: it's all based on our definitions and the practical use people find with it....and we build up the new concepts based on this definitions
Marsmars: suppose u try to go back in the following steps of derivation u find out that if u don't agree that negative times negative is positive then our agreement of a number added to inverse is 0 breaks ...
