Is a negative number minus a negative number a positive or negative answer?
It can have any sign. For example, -3 - (-1) = -3 + 1 = -2 the answer is negative. -3 - (-3) = -3 + 3 = 0 the answer is zero. -3 - (-5) = -3 + 5 = 2 the answer is positive. If the magnitude of the second negative [1] is smaller than the magnitude of the first [3], the answer is negative. If the magnitudes are equal, the answer is zero If the magnitude of the second number [5] is bigger than the magnitude of the first [3], the answer is positive.
