The number was less than -2, for example - 3,000,000
-3,000,000 -(-2) = -3,000,000 + 2 = -2,999,998
When one number is subtracted from another number, the result is known as the difference.
When you subtract one number from another, the result is called the difference. What does your question mean? If by "when two whole numbers are subtracted" you mean that you subtract one whole number from the minuend, and then you subtract another whole number from the difference, then the answer you get is another difference. In effect, you have one minuend and two subtrahends.
No. (-1/3) - (-2/3) = + 1/3
a positive answer
16. Negative times divided subtracted or added to another negative number always equals a positive answer.
In the same way that you would answer a fraction subtract another fraction. The result could be either positive or negative, just as is the case with negative whole numbers.
i think you just add it and put the negative sign in front of it
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
always a negative number. just think about going backwards on a number line.
No. A cell cannot reference itself in a formula. That creates what is known as a circular referenceIt also cannot have both a value in it and a formula doing something to that value. So you would use a different cell for the formula. Put the original total in one cell, the amount to subtract in another cell and a formula in another cell that will be the original total cell minus the amount to be subtracted cell. So if your original value is in A2 and the amount to be subtracted in B2, then in C2 you could put:=A2-B2No. A cell cannot reference itself in a formula.

To subtract a negative number is equivalent to adding a positive number. Two negatives multiplied make a positive.
When you subtract it from a bigger exponent of another number by dividing two numbers with exponents.
