if substracting by two negatives your going to add ex: -2-(-5) it would be positive 7.

if your substracting with two differ numbers it you would substract and take the sign the sign of the biggest number.ex: 2+(-3) it would be-1 sice 3 is bigger than2 you take the sign of 3

if they are two positive numbers, do it normally.

  • If there is a negative and a positive, change it to addition and switch the SECOND integer sign. Only works with two integers in a subtraction question.

    Example: (-32)-(+2)= (-34) / (-32)+(-2)=(-34)
