The term plus/minus is used to state the acceptable range of values for a number, or the estimated error of a measurement. If, for instance, you said 3.7+/-0.2, you would be saying "between 3.5 and 3.9". The term +/- is written as a plus sign, +, with a line drawn under it, so that it appears as an equal sign, =, moved down slightly, with a verticle line at the center extending from the bottom line to above the top line. (I describe it here, because symbols do not seem to be available in this forum.)

Why do you use subtraction when you add a positive integer and a negative integer?
Because adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive. In other words, minus a plus is he same as plus a minus. For example 5+ (-3) = 5-3 = +2 5 -(+3) = 5-3 = +2 Remember minus a plus = = minus plus a minus = minus plus a plus = plus minus a minus = plus
