They mean that if you subtract one of the two digit numbers from another then that is the difference. The numbers in the question are usually smallest first so you can't subtract like that. In these questions you may change the order of the numbers.

Explain how to determine the sign of quotient of two integers?
Ummm..... i don't know because i'm asking the question so you tell me
Explain how to find the common difference of an arithmetic sequence How can you determine whether the arithmetic sequence has a positive common difference or a negative common difference?
For any index n (>1) calculate D(n) = U(n) - U(n-1). If this is the same for all integers n (>1) then D is the common difference. The sign of D determines whether the common difference is positive or negative.
Explain how to subtract a positive integer and a negative integer using absolute value?
Subtracting an integer is the same as adding its opposite.Examples:In the following examples, we convert the subtracted integer to its opposite, and add the two integers.7 - 4 = 7 + (-4) = 312 - (-5) = 12 + (5) = 17-8 - 7 = -8 + (-7) = -15-22 - (-40) = -22 + (40) = 18Note that the result of subtracting two integers could be positive or negative.
Before adding or subtracting two fractions they are converted into like fractions Explain with examples why this is necessary?
Before adding or subtracting two fractions they are converted into like fractions. Explain with examples why this is necessary.
Explain how to add two integers with different signs?
It helps if you put the positive one first. Then, if you realize that adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive, the rest is easy. 7 + (-3) = 7 - 3 = 4 3 + (-7) = 3 - 7 = -4
Explain How do you determine the difference when subtracting two integers with different signs?
Examples: Write the first integer as it is, turn the subtraction into the addition, change the sign of the second integer, and follow the rules of addition. -7 - (2) = -7 + (-2) = -(7 + 2) = -9 10 - (-8) = 10 + (+8) = 18

What is the difference of 3 16 and - 118?
You need to explain the problem better. Are they separate integers, fractions, positive, negative etc

The product of two integers is zero what do you know about the value of the least one of the integers explain?
At least one of the integers is negative.
Explain how to solve a whole-number equation?
by adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying.

Determine whether81 - 49n to the 8 power is a difference of two squares If so factor it If not explain why?
This expression is the difference of squares. It can be factored to (9 - 7n4)(9 + 7n4)
How do you add 2 integers if they have different signs explain how to determine the sums sign?
The sign of the sum will be the same as the number with the greatest absolute value. -9 + 4 = -5 -4 + 9 = 5
What are 5 different integers that have a mean of -10 and explain?
