“Negative Multiplied Negative Equals Positive”

The rule in Mathematics that can be applied in real life is “If a negative number is

multiplied to another negative number, its outcome is a positive number.” Although, it may be

unrealistically applied, it can still be applicable in real life, in a sort of way. If something

negative to happen was augmented, enlarged, or increased with another negative situation, then

the only thing you can do is to have a positive mindset and mentality to able to have an outcome

that is also positive. Obviously, this rule may or may not work in real life, always. However, it

can be applied, as well, in other different ways. Such as, something related to finance, money, or

debt. Let us take for example, a person named Jesse has a debt of twenty pesos to twenty people.

For instance, if the amount of people who Jesse owes twenty pesos goes down by twenty, then

Jesse now has (−20 ) pesosmultiplied by (−20 ) peopleis equal ¿ 400 pesos.
