How do you work out minus sums what is the sum of minus 3 take away plus 5?
It is sometimes helpful to think of "minus" as a debt. So +3 means you have 3, while minus 3 i.e. -3 means you have a debt of 3. Then you have the business of adding and subtracting. Minus three takeaway plus five: Means you are already in debt for 3 and taking away 5 means you are now down to minus 8. Example -3 + +5 is written -3+5 which is down 3, up 5 , answer 2 Example -3 - +5 is written -3 -5 which is down 8, answer -8 Two pluses together work as + Two minuses together work as + (like taking away a debt) A plus with a minus works as - (like -+ is taking away positive money, or +- is like adding a debt. Both ways it works out -)

Why does minus minus a minus equal a minus?
Minus minus a minus does not necessarily produce a minus answer.Here is an example of a minus figure, minus another minus figure:-3 - (-5) = -3 + 5 = +2As long as the absolute value of the first number is smaller than that of the second, the final answer will always be positive.If the two are equal, the final answer is 0:-4 - (-4) = -4 + 4 = 0Only if the magnitude of the first is larger than the second is the answer negative: -3 - (-2) = -3 + 2 = -1-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HOWEVER, if we are trying to determine the sign of a number that has multiple signs, for example (-3), -(-3), or -(-(-3)), [minus, minus a minus] then the logic is this:A negative is a negative, so -3 is negative, and means deduct 3A negative negative is a positive, so -(-3) is positive and means add 3A negative 'negative negative' is a negative, so -(-(-3)) [i.e. minus, minus a minus] is negative and means minus 3Let's work it through another way:If minus n means minus nThen minus (minus n) must mean plus nTherefore minus (minus (minus n)) must mean minus nYet another way to think of it:If you add a minus figure to a calculation, you deduct it.But if you deduct a minus figure, you must ADD it (thereby reversing its original 'negativity' and the figure become a positive one)So if you have to then 'minus' it once more, (thereby reversing its positive status) it has 'minus' value again.Method of determining the signIf you have a formula with 'stacked' minuses, remove them in pairs, starting from the left. If you've got one left, the resulting value will be a minus figure. But if 'pairing' them removes them all, then the remaining figure is positive, i.e. '+'.
What expression is the difference of 10 and three?
It means: 10 minus 3 = 7
What does from stand for in math?
It means subtraction, but it's sort of backward. 3 from 5 is the same as 5 minus 3.
What does 3-4 mean in math?
7
What does from stand for in math terms?
It means subtraction, but it's sort of backward. 3 from 5 is the same as 5 minus 3.
What is 7 minus the product of v and 3?
seven minus the product of v and 3 would be as it sounds. 7- because it says seven minus the product, product means multiply so then v and 3 so then it is 7-3v or v3
Why is plus multiplied by minus minus?
Imagine the number line. Suppose on the left it starts -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3, etc. Let's calculate 2 x (-3). The expression -3 says starting at zero, go left 3 steps. The expression 2 x means do it twice. Where do you finish? -6 If you see why you finish on the left side, you have your answer. What about minus x minus. Let's calculate (-2) x (-3). Again -3 says starting at zero go left 3 steps. The expression -2 x means, no, go the other way instead -- twice. Where do you finish? +6. Minus x minus = plus.
