What is a negative number minus a positive number?
it is always negative, and of larger value ( more negative than the starting negative)
Does a positive number minus a negative number equal a positive number or a negative number?
Positive. A negative number added to a positive would reduce the original to a smaller positive, to zero, or to a negative depending on their relative values but subtracting a negative number from a positive number will always increase the value of the positive.
What is a positive minus a negative number?
"Minus a negative number" is the same as "plus a positive number" so you have a positive plus a positive number - making a bigger positive number.
What is a negative number minus a positive?
negative
Why is a negative number minus a positive number always 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!
