Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number: 20 - (-12) = 20 + 12 = 32
6 - (-32) = 6 + 32 = 38
es, of course. -(minus)16 is negative while 16 is positive. so minus -16 is 32 less than 16.
It equals 32. The two subtractions cancel each other out, leaving you with 16 + 16.
32 - (-2) = 32 + 2 = 34
