Yes but you know what I mean....
I forgot what all positive numbers where called. I left my brain in High School [/quote]
I suppose I do

This problem was for a quiz my step mom has. She's like 39 (or somewhere around there). She's back in school to get a degree, and earn more money (not like she doesn't make enough already).
My good friend's dad works for the city, and after years of experience, is now some sort of traffic engineer. But he's hit a pay ceiling, because he never got a degree. You don't necessarily need math, all you need is that damn piece of paper.

i thought all negative numbers werent "REAL numbers"....seeing as you cannot have a negative amount of something, its just not there..
"how many turbos you have in that NA 13B?"
"negative 1?"
"how much did you steal that 3-rotor for"
"negative 3500?"
"how many turbos you have in that NA 13B?"

oh, and you can buy something for negative dollars. Like if I got a hat from you, and paid -$5, that means I got your hat, and you paid me $5.

then you would have a turbo in the trunk
and if you bought a hat for -5 .... then you would still be paying 0 dollars...meaning that you bought a hat for 0 dollars and i gave you 5 bucks

Interpretation my friend, that's the only difference there.
