Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number. Also, adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number. -7 + (-5) = -7 - 5 = -12 -7 - (-5) = -7 + 5 = -2
There are a multitude of additions that could result in -7. Adding a negative number is basically the same as changing the plus sign to a minus, then doing the subtraction as if you were subtracting positive numbers. Adding a positive number to a negative number makes the number move closer to 0 (or past it if the positive number is larger). Also, adding two negative numbers results in a negative number. 0 + -7 = -7 2 + -9 = -7 -8 + 1 = -7 -3 + -4 = -7
A negative number subtracted by a positive number will always end up negative.
A negative number added to a negative number will always come out negative.
It always is a negative number. The result will be the sum of the two digits with a minus sign in front of it, eg, (-4) - (+7) = -4 - 7 = -11.
Negative 6 minus 1 is equal to negative 7. When subtracting a positive number from a negative number, you essentially add the additive inverse of the positive number to the negative number. In this case, the additive inverse of 1 is -1, so -6 + (-1) = -7.
