The RULES for subtraction do not depend on the signs of the numbers. A - B means the value of A (+ or -) minus the value of B(+ or -). So if A is -1 and B is -2 you have (-1) - (-2). Subtracting a minus is a plus (like taking away a debt). So: (-1)+2 or -1+2 = 1. Think of positives as dollars in your hand, and minuses as bills in your hand you have to pay. If someone takes away a bill, you are better off. Similarly for distances. So it does matter - you must do it properly.
That is called the difference between them.
-3...-2...-1...0...1...2...3To find the positive number when subtracting from a (-)number is finding the Absolute Value of the sum. Another way is changing the negative number to a positive and reversing the equation.*Such as, 1-(-3)--> +3-1. So than the answer is a positive 4.* Dots represent the actual line
One rule for finding number pairs that add to 100 is to start with one number and subtract it from 100 to find the other number. For example, if one number is 75, subtracting it from 100 gives 25, so the pair is (75, 25).

To add and subtract fractions, you need common denominators. To find the common denominator, find the LCM of the denominators you wish to add or subtract.
Not if you take the absolute value of the answer.
You subtract two forces when they act in opposite directions along the same line. Subtracting these forces results in finding the net force acting on the object in that particular direction.
When subtracting 0.99 from 1.0, you are essentially finding the difference between the two numbers. To do this, you align the decimal points and subtract each place value. In this case, subtracting 0.99 from 1.0 results in 0.01.
Finding the LCM will make adding and subtracting fractions easier.
You are finding their difference.
Yes.
We look at the signs of numbers when we need to combine them. We subtract only if numbers have different signs, otherwise we add them. So that, if we have in an expression several positive and negative numbers, we prefer to group numbers with the same sign and add them in order to subtract just once. While with fractions we like to group fractions with the same denominator first, and after that we can combine all fractions by finding their LCD.
Subtracting two numbers is finding their difference.

Subtracting rational numbers involves managing fractions, which may require finding a common denominator, while subtracting whole numbers is a straightforward process of simple arithmetic. Additionally, rational numbers can result in negative values or fractions, affecting the outcome and interpretation of the result. In contrast, whole numbers are always non-negative integers, making their subtraction simpler and more predictable. Thus, the complexity of operations increases with rational numbers due to their fractional components.
