So anytime im diving with that sort of problem. I need to flip the sign?

It doesnt matter about if a number is negative or not?

When you divide by a negative the sign flips.

Your welcome :)

The sign flips direction when you divide OR multiply by a negative number, but not a positive number.

Yes sorry, I was commenting on the first answer but that's correct dividing or multiplying by a negative. Thank you @agent0smith
