3 - -2 = 5

When you subtract a negative from a positive, its like adding a positive. 8-(-3) is the same as 8+3. Always remember, subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.
When you subtract a negative number, it has the same effect as adding a positive number. Therefore, in this instance, 16 - (-3) = 16 + 3 = 19.
When you have to subtract a negative number, the two negatives cancel each other out to create a positive. So really, your question is what is positive 8 plus positive 3.
Depends. If you are subtracting a bigger number from a smaller number, such as 3 - 5, you will get a negative result, -2. If you are subtracting a smaller number from a bigger number, such as 12 - 3 you will get a positive result, 9.
That would be false. When you subtract two positive numbers, you only go into negatives if the number you are subtracting is greater than the number it's being subtracted from. 3 - 2 = 1 2 - 3 = -1
3-(-2)=5
-3
To turn a negative number into a positive number...you can either multiply/times two negative numbers (eg -2 x -2 = 4) together or subtract a negative number (eg 3-(-3) = 3+3=6)
Subtracting a positive number from any other number results in a lower value. For example, subtract 5 from 7: 7 - 5 = 2 It is exactly the same if the positive number is subtracted from a negative number. Subtract 5 from -3 for example: -3 - 5 = -8 The value of the result is lower and the result will always be negative.
multiplying and dividing- positive * positive= positive positive * negative=negative negative *negative=positive subtracting- -3-6=? 1. freeze first number- -3 2.reverse the sign to a addition- -3+ 3.Reverse the sign of the number- -3+-6= -9 adding- keep the sign of the larger number, then add/subtract
When adding negative integers, you subtract. (2+-1=1) When subtracting negative integers, you add. (2--3=5)
you subtract the numbers then he higher number to start out with is the awnser. example: negative 3 - positive 7= 3-7=4 the higher number is 7 so i is positive. the final answer is positive 4
You would use the reverse operation for a negative integer being added or subtracted.To add a negative integer, subtract its absolute value (positive value).Example : 4 + (-3) = 4 - (3) = 1To subtract a negative integer, add its absolute (positive) value.Example : 4 - (-2) = 4 + 2 = 6Beginning with a negative, adding a negative increases the negative value.Example : (-4) + (-3) = -7Subtracting a negative reduces the negative value.Example (-4) - (-1) = (-3) * this is the same as (-4) + 1 = (-3)
The result can be either positive or negative, depending on the sizes of those original two negative numbers. (-8) minus (-10) = positive 2 (-8) minus (-5) = negative 3
-5+-3 = -8 ++ Add -- Add +- Subtract -+ Subtract
When you subtract a negative from a positive, its like adding a positive. 8-(-3) is the same as 8+3. Always remember, subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.
It's the same as adding a positive number.
