why is -(-(-3))) is 3??
two negatives multiplied together make a positive, when a positive is mulitplied by a negative then it equals a negative...that is why
?
for example -3 * -3 = 9 * -3 = -27
see the 27 is -27 because 2 negatives make a positive, then + * - = -
i no that but what if it was (-(-(9))
that -9 would turn to positive 9 because its two negatives multiplied together, do you understand at all?
no i actually don't lol
I showed you already there is no other ways to explain it, - * - = + + * - = -
a negative times a negative gives you a postive, then when you add another negative, you get an over all negative answer.
toni doesn't understand it
what is |-(4)|
its just 4
now if the negative was on the outisde of the absolute value then it would be -4
can you give me a problem like that

3
no its -3 you forgot the negative since its on the outside
so if there was a problem with 4 negatives signs and 5 it would be 5 since a negative + a negative is a positive
draw it out and ill show you
