Caveman Chang RUINS Negative Numbers for Better Understanding

From the rules of algebra, the additive inverse gives us negative numbers. Negative numbers are equal and opposite of positive numbers. Adding negative numbers and doing subtraction are the same thing.

On a number line, all the positive numbers are on the right side of zero and all the negative numbers are on the left side of zero. Anytime we multiple any number by -1, we are flipping it across the number line across zero to the other side. We can flip the number across the number line as many times. If we flip the number once, it will go from negative to positive or positive to negative. If we flip the number an even amount of times, we will come back to the original side of zero (e.g. positive or negative)
