There are infinitely many possible answers. For example, (3) - (5) = -2.
they both have something to do with positive and negative
The rules for addition are as follows:The sum of two negative integers is a negative integerThe sum of two positive integers is a positive integerThe rules for subtraction are as follows:If they are two positive numbers, do it normallyIf there is a negative and a positive ,change it to addition and switch the SECOND integer sign
If you interpret "whole numbers" as "integers", then yes. If you interpret "whole numbers" as "non-negative integers", then no.
1 No. 2 No. 3 Yes.

any time the 2nd neg. has a larger absolute value than the 1st ex: (-3) - (-4) = +1
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.

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.

It can be a problem to do with adding or subtracting or exponents.
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.
1 No. 2 No. 3 Yes.
turn the subtraction sign into an addition sign and the 3 into a negative: 1+-3=-2
No, a constant cannot be considered a polynomial because it is only a single term. A polynomial is defined as an expression that consists of the variables and coefficients that involves only the operations of subtraction, addition, multiplication, and the non-negative integer exponents.
