I have been asked to subtract 63 from 48. I tried this guess at how to do it: 48-63---- -25 But I looked it up and it said the answer was -15, and this was the actual way to do it: 63-48------15 Why is it wrong to do it my way?

Not sure how you're getting -25, but when you are subtracting a bigger number from a smaller number the strategy is to swap the numbers and add a negative sign which would give you -15.
