-20 -(-5) = -15 ie -(-5) = +5 therefore -20 +5 =15 (two double minuses = a positive)
Equals positive or negative. Because minus a positiveequals plus a negative.(+15) - (+20) = (+15) + (-20)If you want to lear the rules, use a plus symbol between the parts of the operation.(+) + (+) = +(-) + (-) = -(+) + (-) = - or +Generally speaking, if just one number have a negative sign, the result can be both positive or negative.
-20
The problem 20 minus negative 24 equals 44 because two negatives become a positive.
12-(-8) = 20
Negative 15 plus positive 20 equals 20 minus 15, which equals 5.

negative 20
-20 - 15 = -35
It depends. (a) a positive minus a smaller positive is positive, (b) a positive minus a positive of the same size is zero, and (c) a positive minus a bigger positive is negative. For example, (a) 8 - 6 = 2 (b) 8 - 8 = 0 (c) 8 - 11 = -3
5 - (-15) = 20
a negative + negative = negative (ex. -10+-10=-20) a positive + negative = a positive or a negative depending on how high the negative number is (ex1. 10+-5=5 , ex2. 10+-15=-5) a positive + positive = a positive "obviously" (ex. 2+2=4) a negative - negative = positive (ex. -5--10=5) because the minus sign and the negative sign automatically turn into an addition sign.
