Negatives and subtraction go hand - in - hand
For Example,
- 5 + 3 = - 2
could be also seen like this.
3 - 5 = = -2
Your answer will be negative if the number with the negative sign is bigger than the number with the positive term. If both numbers are negative then you add them up as normal numbers like positive and just put a negative before the total.
- 5 - 5 = - 10
- 5 + (- 5) = -10
If the negative number is bigger, you get a negative number as an answer. If the positive number is bigger, you get a positive number as an answer.
"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.
Negative answer if the negative number is bigger. Positive answer if the positive number is bigger.
Because minus a negative number is equivalent to plus a positive number. So, in effect, you have a positive number plus a positive number and that is going to be positive.
No.

Not necessarily. A negative number plus a positive number can be negative, zero or positive.
Negative answer if the negative number is bigger. Positive answer if the positive number is bigger.
Negatives and Positives Positive + Positive = Positive Negative + Negative = Positive Negative + Positive = Negative Positive + Negative = Negative
negative read this : "MULTIPLICATION: minus times minus is plus (negative x negative = positive).....minus times plus is minus (negative x positive = negative).....plus times plus is plus (positive x positive = positive) DIVISION: minus divi minus is plus (negative ÷ negative = positive)......minus divi plus is minus (negative ÷ positive = negative).....plus divi plus is plus (positive ÷ positive = positive)"
It does not. A negative number multiplied by a negative number equals a positive number.
Because minus a negative number is equivalent to plus a positive number. So, in effect, you have a positive number plus a positive number and that is going to be positive.
No.
A negative number.
A negative number.
A negative number divided by a positive number, or a positive number divided by a negative number, results in a negative number.
