It is subtraction
Taking away a negative number is the same as adding the positive value of that number. So 5 take away (-3) = 5 add 3 = 8
yes if u take a negative from a positve you will get a negative
Because if the number is already negative and you take away more it will be even farther away from being positive. I hope that makes sense!
You have to take the negative sign away from the negative number and add them.
Here is how to find out:-Take away one from the other.If you get a positive answer then the number you are taking away form is bigger than the number you are taking away.If you get a negative answer the number you are taking away from is smaller than the number you are taking away.
The result of subtracting a negative number minus a negative number can be positive, or negative, depending on which of the numbers is larger. It can even be zero.
I think I know what you mean. Take away followed by a Subtraction is - - Two negatives equal a positive. Therefore it is a plus. Taking away a negative number gives a plus
In this case, it would depend on how high thepositive number is. for example: negative 10 plus positive 12 would equal positive 2 because the ten negative numbers would cancel out ten of the positive twelve numbers. So the answer would be a positive number but ONLY IF you could take the sign away from the number and the positive number was higher.
For this we take a test charge which is a unit positive charge. Now, we take charge to be tested and bring test charge near to it. If both the charges repel the charge taken is positive and it they attract then the charge taken is negetive.
subtraction means you have to take away from the number
For example, -7 - 5. you pretend that the minus in the 7 wasnt there so the answer would be 2
