Driving along a negative direction,

40 mph west instead of east.

I spin around 180,

times (-1)

times nothing, I turned the vehicle to face
west, now I am driving east at 40 mph.

then I spin around 180 again.

times (-1)

Times nothing again,
I turned around and I am back to driving
west again.

Guess what, I am still driving in the negative direction.

equals -40 mph

Still a positive 40 mph in the west direction.

Excellent!

(-40)*(-1)*(-1) = -40

So, you got the above correct.

Now tell us the answer to (-40)*(-1)

Which direction are you driving?

I don't multiply by -1 to change direction.
I turn 180 degrees and I am still doing a positive
40 mph in the new direction.
(no multiplication (of my speed) occuring at all)

Why do you multiply for a change of direction?
How does "change of direction" get turned into
a multiplication at all?
Do you truly think 180 degrees = -1 ?
That is real silly.
I am glad you can make up such imaginary math.
180 = -1..
Great Stuff!

Jim, try this:

Multiplication by positive whole numbers amounts to repeated addition,
as shown:
20 x 5 = 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 100
35 x 2 = 35 + 35 = 70
21 x 2 = 21 + 21 = 42
-2 x 2 = -2 + -2 = -4, don't you agree?
