In summary, there is a number between -2 and 2 that links the positive and negative numbers together, and this number is 0.

I'm kind of confused by your question, but:
2 exists and it's positive (2=+2)
and if x=1 then -1+x+1=1
and -1x1=-1

I don't quite understand your question.
What would be the use of having a number "between"?

studentxlol said:
-1, 1, +1
-2, 2, +2

What would these be?

[tex](-1) + (-1)=~?[/tex]
[tex](1) + (1)=~?[/tex]
[tex](+1) + (+1)=~?[/tex]

I'm thinking like there has to be something in between a positive and negative number that links those two numbers together so like.. -2, x +2 what is x??

A value between -2 and 2 would be 0.

I understand that numbers, addition, and multiplication are fundamental concepts in mathematics. Numbers are the building blocks of all mathematical operations, and addition and multiplication are two of the most basic operations that allow us to combine and manipulate numbers.

Addition is the process of combining two or more numbers to find their total or sum. It is represented by the symbol "+". For example, 2+3=5, where 2 and 3 are added to get a total of 5.

Multiplication, on the other hand, is the process of repeated addition. It is represented by the symbol "x" or "·". For example, 2x3=6, where 2 is added to itself 3 times to get a total of 6.

Both addition and multiplication are essential in solving more complex mathematical problems and are used in various fields, including science, engineering, and economics.

In conclusion, numbers, addition, and multiplication are essential concepts in mathematics that allow us to understand and solve problems in our daily lives. I recognize their importance and continue to utilize them in my research and experiments.
 

FAQ: Number question, addition and multipulcation

What is the difference between addition and multiplication?

Addition is the process of combining two or more numbers to get a total or sum. Multiplication, on the other hand, is the process of repeated addition where a number is added to itself a certain number of times.

How do you add or multiply more than two numbers?

To add or multiply more than two numbers, you can use the associative property, which states that the grouping of numbers does not affect the result. This means that you can add or multiply any two numbers first, then add or multiply the third number to the result, and so on.

What is the commutative property in addition and multiplication?

The commutative property states that the order of the numbers does not affect the result in addition and multiplication. This means that you can add or multiply the numbers in any order and still get the same result.

How do you solve a number question with multiple operations?

To solve a number question with multiple operations, you need to follow the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS. This stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). This ensures that you solve the operations in the correct order and get the correct result.

Can you provide an example of the distributive property in multiplication?

The distributive property states that multiplying a number by a sum is the same as multiplying the number by each addend separately and then adding the products. For example, 5 x (3 + 2) is the same as (5 x 3) + (5 x 2) = 15 + 10 = 25.
