What is a subtraction expression that involves two negative integers and has a negative answer?

If you are implying the expression can only have two terms than any expression where the second subtracted negative term is larger than the first negative term would work to give you a negative answer. e.g. (-4) - (-1) = -3, (-10) - (-3) = -7, (-412) - (-15) = -397, etc.

Is the set of integers closed under subtraction?

yes, because an integer is a positive or negative, rational, whole number. when you subject integers, you still get a positive or negative, rational, whole number, which means that under the closure property of real numbers, the set of integers is closed under subtraction.


Is the whole number closed under subtraction?

If you interpret "whole numbers" as "integers", then yes. If you interpret "whole numbers" as "non-negative integers", then no.

Is subtracting integers and adding integers related?

Integers are any positive or negative whole numbers. Subtraction involves taking the subtrahend from the minuend.You take the value of the first, and take it away from the second, and depending on the signs that are similar (positive/negative) they can cancel and override each other.

Which sets of numbers are closed under subtraction?

To be closed under an operation, when that operation is applied to two member of a set then the result must also be a member of the set. Thus the sets ℂ (Complex numbers), ℝ (Real Numbers), ℚ (Rational Numbers) and ℤ (integers) are closed under subtraction. ℤ+ (the positive integers), ℤ- (the negative integers) and ℕ (the natural numbers) are not closed under subtraction as subtraction can lead to a result which is not a member of the set.
