a negative subtracted by a positive will always equal a negative.
Yes.
Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive; the result will be positive.
In math when you are given a negative and a positive number, you should write down the sign of the greatest number and subtract the smaller number from the greatest number. In the problem 3 - 9, three is the positive number, and nine is the negative number. This means you should write down the negative number's sign and subtract 3 from 9, and your answer should be -6.
A negative and a negative does NOT equal positive.For example(-7) + (-7) = -14 which is not positive!
The Answer could be neither positive nor negative because the positivve could be bigger than the negative or the neagative could be bigger than the positive

On the number line if you subtract a positive you move left. If you add a positive you move right. If add a negative you move left. If you subtract a negative you move right. That is just how I learned it. I don't know a wordy explanation.
Often, but not always. It depends upon what you do with them. If the numbers are not equal, and you subtract the larger from the smaller, the answer will be negative.
If you subtract positive twenty-seven from negative sixty-nine, you would get negative forty-two. You simply subtract the 27 from the 69 but leave the negative sign.
