because a (+ & – ) will always be a (-) answer. if you have a (- & -) it will be (+). if you have a (+ & +) it will be a (+) answer

Multipliation just means addition. If you have -2 multiplied by +5. The answer is -10. What you are doing is adding -2 -2-2-2-2=-10

-2 is added 5 times.

Let first integer is 2 and the second integer is (-3)

then (2)x(-3)=(-6)

Because (-) x (+) = (-)
