-12-(+10)=-22. Negative 22 is the final answer
-20
-5
10-12 is called one trillionth.
7x + 12 = 5x + 2 Subtract '12' from both sides Hence 7x = 5x -10 Subtract '5x' from both sides. 2x = -10 Divide both sides by '2' Hence x = -5 .
Well I believe you may be referring to the fact that whenever you subtract you actually "add the opposite." Another phrase people may use is to "plus a negative." This is not as accurate as add the opposite. An example would 12-5. It can be written as 12 + -5. You are simply adding the opposite of positive 5 which is negative 5. Now this may seem silly, but where it is useful is when you have a lot of negatives. For example. -10- -5. For some this is confusing until we add the opposite. I can rewrite this as -10 + 5. I simply took the opposite of -5 which was positive 5 and added it to -10. This equals -5. Hope this helps.

It depends on the value of those numbers. ---------------------------- You always get a positive number. "Subtracting a negative number" is the same as "adding a positive number" because the two negatives "cancel." If I do something like 10 - (-12), this is the same as 10+12, or 22 (positive).
To subtract negative five twelfths from five sixths, first convert five sixths to twelfths. Five sixths is equal to ten twelfths. Now, subtract: (-\frac{5}{12} - \frac{10}{12} = -\frac{15}{12}). This simplifies to (-\frac{5}{4}) or (-1\frac{1}{4}).

If you mean when you subtract a negative from a positive what does it make? If so, you will get a positive answer. This is because the two negative symbols are basically multiplied, and if you multiply two negatives you get a positive, so a positive number minus a negative number becomes a positive number plus a positive number. 6 - (-5) = 11 2 - (-10) = 12 125 - (-15) = 140
10 - -12 = 22

You can first subtract 2 from 12 to get 10. Then when you bring 10 across the = sign, it becomes -10, so 42-10 is 32.
12 because the negative of the negative is positive
The sum of -10 and -2 is -12.
