How do you subtract the positive from the negative?
Add the absolute values of the two numbers, then put on a negative sign. For example: -7-3=-(7+3)=-10
Is -5 times 10 to the negative 2 power in scientific notation?
Yes, -5*10^-2 and it is equivalent to -0.05
Is It impossible to subtract a negative number?
No, it is not impossible; subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding the negative number without its minus sign. For example, 10 - (-6) = 16; -10 -(-6) = -4; and -1 - (-6) = 5
What are the rules for adding and subtracting negative and positive numbers?
Addition and Subtraction of Positive and Negative numbers is very simple once you grasp the knowledge of how to do it. Simply remember when a + and a - are together you - the values and when the signs are the same you + the values. -+ = - +- = - ++ = + -- = + Examples: [1] 10 + -9 = 10 (+-) 9 = 10 - 9 = 1 [2] 10 - +9 = 10 (-+) 9 = 10 - 9 = 1 [3] 10 + +9 = 10 (++) 9 = 10 + 9 = 19 [4] 10 - - 9 = 10 (--) 9 = 10 - 9 = 1 Note : The above is much too complex for younger student minds. FIRST Rule : Gather together all the numbers with the same signs. Then add all the positive numbers together. Do the same for the negatives. Finally, subtract the negative total from the positive total, to get the final combined total or answer.
How do you change a negative power of 10 to a decimal?
For a negative power of -k, the equivalent decimal is the decimal point followed by (k-1) zeros followed by 1.Thus 10^-5 = 0.00001
What is 5 times negative 2 over 5?
Negative 2. 5 * -2, multiply the two zero values you get 10. Because there is one negative, our answer will be negative. -10/2, again, divide the zero values, you get 2. Add the negative sign, and BAM-- -2
What is the negative equivalent fractions of eight over ten?
-8/10
What fractions are equivalent to negative two over five?
negative 4 over 10 negative 2 trillion over 5 trillion
6.5 times 10 to the negative 5 power?
It is equivalent to 0.000065

Why celsius scale gives negative temperature?
Temperature in Celsius can be negative. 0 degrees is freezing point in Celsius, so it is possible to get -1, -10 degrees, etc. However, not all temperatures in Celsius are negative.

What is negative 4 minus 10?
-10-(-4)-6When you subtract a negative number, that is the same as adding its absolute value.Next Answer:The problem can be represented thus:-10 - (-4)Whenever you have two minus signs next to each other like this, it's the equivalent of a plus sign, so the following is also correct:-10 + 4Take a look at the number line for this. Drawing it yourself may be helpful.You begin at the position of -10The problem asks you to subtract "negative 4" from this quantity. Subtraction is just removing. Since you have "negative 10" already, if you remove "negative 4":Then you only have "negative 6" left.This can also be visualized as the -10 + 4 stated earlier, since the two statements are mathematically equivalent. You start at -10, and then add four. When you add, you go toward the positive end of the number line.
