subtraction means you have to take away from the number
-11 is 11 units away from zero on a number line.
A simple definition is that the absolute value of a number is how many places away from zero it is on a number line. Say you have the number three. The number three is three places away from zero on a number line. Say you have the number negative three. That number is also three spots away from zero on the number line. That is why there is no such thing as negative absolute values.

Taking away a negative number is the same as adding the positive value of that number. So 5 take away (-3) = 5 add 3 = 8
The difference of two numbers is equal to the smaller number taken away from the greater number. Now let's take a look at our problem. The greater number is 2.5 and the smaller number is obviously 1.44. So now, take 1.44 away from 2.5. Line up the decimal places and add necessary zeros in the empty spaces. The answer is 1.06.
The number 2650 take away 4449 equals -1799.
22 units away.
