For example, -7 - 5. you pretend that the minus in the 7 wasnt there so the answer would be 2
yes if u take a negative from a positve you will get a negative
Because if the number is already negative and you take away more it will be even farther away from being positive. I hope that makes sense!
When you take away a negative number from a positive number, it's equivalent to adding that negative number's absolute value to the positive number. For example, if you have 5 and subtract -3, the calculation becomes 5 + 3, resulting in 8. This principle applies because subtracting a negative effectively increases the original number.

The product of a positive and negative number is always negative The sum of a positive and negative number depends on which one is larger; subtract the two numbers and take the sign of the larger

You have to take the negative sign away from the negative number and add them.
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 result of subtracting a negative number minus a negative number can be positive, or negative, depending on which of the numbers is larger. It can even be zero.

A negative - even further away from zero than the first negative.
In this case, it would depend on how high thepositive number is. for example: negative 10 plus positive 12 would equal positive 2 because the ten negative numbers would cancel out ten of the positive twelve numbers. So the answer would be a positive number but ONLY IF you could take the sign away from the number and the positive number was higher.
take any negative number, and subtract a positive number..that is the same as adding a negative number and two negative numbers added together are a negative number.
I think I know what you mean. Take away followed by a Subtraction is - - Two negatives equal a positive. Therefore it is a plus. Taking away a negative number gives a plus
