There's no general rule. The result could be positive and it could also be negative. It depends on how big both numbers are. (neg 5) minus (neg 7) = pos 2 (neg 5) minus (neg 3) = neg 2
8/15 minus 7/20 is 11/60
22 - 7 = 15
3/5 minus 2/15 is 7/15.
43 minus 27 3/7 = 15 4/7

-15 = y/7(x both sides by 7)-105 = y
8 - 15 = -7
8/15 minus 7/20 is 11/60
22 - 7 = 15
1 is the answer +8-(-7) = 15 If you subtract a negative number, you sign is changed to addition. A positive minus a minus = a positive. (two minuses next to one another = a +) +8-(-7) =+8+7 =15
3/5 minus 2/15 is 7/15.
43 minus 27 3/7 = 15 4/7

15 yards minus 7 yards 2 feet equals 7 yards 1 foot. Therefore, 15 yards minus 7 yards 1 foot equals 7 yards 2 feet.
