You take a number say 9... then you go a certain distance decreasing as you go from whatever number you subtract.

9-5=4

6-3=3

10- -4= 14

I AM IMPROVING THIS ANSWER I AM A DIF. PERSON THEN ABOVE.

I like to think of it as a bank account. If I start with, say, 10 bucks

10

but I buy an ice cream cone that costs 3 bucks

10+ (-3)

then I am subtracting from my account for what I have now.

10 + ( -3 ) = 7

I have 7 dollars left.

But say I buy a 10 $ meal

7 + ( -10 )

Then I owe the bank money.

7 + ( -10 ) = -3

How do you subtract interders?

To subtract integers, first identify the signs of the numbers involved. If both integers have the same sign, subtract their absolute values and keep the common sign. If the integers have different signs, subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger one and take the sign of the integer with the larger absolute value. For example, to calculate (3 - 5), you would subtract (5) from (3) to get (-2).
