There are two basic rules for subtracting integers. If the integer you're subtracting is positive, then you decrease the value of the integer that it's being subtracted from by that amount. For example, 8 - 3 = 5 and 3 - 8 = -5. If the integer you're subtracting is negative, then you increase the value of the integer that it's being subtracted from by that amount. For example, 8 - (-3) = 11 and 3 - (-8) = 11 as well.
