-16 - 8 = -24
A positive minus a negative is a positive.
It is: 10--6 = 16 because --6 is +6
Because "minus a negative" is tha same as "plus a positive". So, a positive minus a negative is a positive plus a positive which is a positive.
es, of course. -(minus)16 is negative while 16 is positive. so minus -16 is 32 less than 16.
-16 - 8 = -24
-16 - 8 = -24
The quotient of a positive integer by a negative is always negative. Say this to yourself a couple times: "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)"
Positive (Plus) times Negative (Minus) always equals a negative (minus).
A positive minus a negative is a positive.
-12 - 4 = -16
I honestly don't know :D but heres something to help you "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)"
Because "minus a negative" is tha same as "plus a positive". So, a positive minus a negative is a positive plus a positive which is a positive.
It is: 10--6 = 16 because --6 is +6
es, of course. -(minus)16 is negative while 16 is positive. so minus -16 is 32 less than 16.
When you subtract a negative number, it has the same effect as adding a positive number. Therefore, in this instance, 16 - (-3) = 16 + 3 = 19.
Positive 3 plus negative 5 minus negative 2 minus positive 4 is equal to -4.
