\n" ); document.write( "1: count the - signs.
\n" ); document.write( "If odd number of them: answer will be -.
\n" ); document.write( "If even numbe of them: answer will be +.
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "(-3)(2)(-1)=
\n" ); document.write( "Even number of negatives, so + answer.
\n" ); document.write( "(3)(2)(1) = 6 so
\n" ); document.write( "+6
\n" ); document.write( "(or just 6) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
