When you are doing maths, you must see the equations as numbers.

So 5-1 consists from the numbers +5 and -1. So 5-1=-1+5

however if you substract with a negative number you actually substract With -1

So 5--1, becomes 5+1.

See it as I have a bucket of -ses and +ses. When I removeone - the sum of +ses is greater than the sum of the -ses
