<h2 id="patterns" class="book-prose__heading">Why negative times negative is positive</h2>
<p>
Arithmetic rules must stay consistent with distribution. This leads to
\((-a)(-b)=ab\).
</p>
<h2 id="order" class="book-prose__heading">Order of operations with signed numbers</h2>
<p>
Use brackets, exponents, multiplication/division, then addition/subtraction.

\(5-(-2)\times 3 = 5-(-6)=11\)
</p>
<h2 id="multi-step" class="book-prose__heading">Multi-step integer expressions</h2>
<p>
Keep signs with their numbers and rewrite subtraction as adding opposites when needed.
