2 - (-3) = 5 (The minus a negative becomes a positive, thus 2 + 3 = 5).
Its like reversing the procedure of minus. For example, in -(-1) , you are actually inverting the minus sign with the minus sign outside the bracket to become a positive 1. So in general, -(-x) is equal to x. well every time you see negative x negative gives you a positive. and a negative time a positive makes it negative. here are some examples: (-) (-)= (+), (-) (+)= (-)
negative 9 divided by negative 3 is 3 andnegative 3 minus 1 is negative 2
The negative of a negative number is a positive number. The reason for this is that the first negative is a place holder for -1. When you have - - 4, that translates into -1 x -4. When you multiply two negative numbers, you get a positive.For example:- - 7 = -1 x -7 = 7- - r = -1 x -r = r
One minus fourteen, 1-14 equals -13 read as negative 13.
-3 minus -2 is -1.
(-3)-(4)=(-3)+4=1 Minus times minus equals plus. The reason for this we need not discuss.
5-(-1) = 6
Negative 19 minus 1 equals negative 20
-4 - 1 = -4 + (-1) = -5
A negative minus a positive is a negative. i.e -1-(+1)= -2
negative 1
2 - (-3) = 5 (The minus a negative becomes a positive, thus 2 + 3 = 5).
-2 1/3 minus -10 1/6 equals 7 5/6
