Yes.
ie) -8-3=x
The problem would change to:
-8+(-3)=x
x=-11
So just make it a negative plus a negative.

No, not counting zero,the difference is always positive since minus a minus is plus
Because adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive. In other words, minus a plus is he same as plus a minus. For example 5+ (-3) = 5-3 = +2 5 -(+3) = 5-3 = +2 Remember minus a plus = = minus plus a minus = minus plus a plus = plus minus a minus = plus
If the number is zero, then it is neither positive nor negative.For all other integers: If there is a minus sign, "-", before the integer, then it is negative. If there is a plus sign, "+", before the integer or no sign at all, then it is positive.
It means that you add a sign (plus or minus).
A positive minus a negative is a positive.
