Well, I'm not completely sure, but, my equation turned out something like this;
-9-12*x = 8-4*x
-21x = 4x
-21x/4 = 4x/4
=-5.25
... But, as I said, I'm not sure. You might discuss this problem with a math tutor or algebra teacher.
negative.
That is correct. If you subtract a positive number from a negative number, your result is negative.
-12 - (-3) Two negatives equal a positive. So, -12 + 3 = -9
The negative number (-x) is first entered, then the rest. -x -(-y) When you subtract a negative, the minus and the negative cancel out, meaning you add.
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number: 20 - (-12) = 20 + 12 = 32
A negative number minus a positive number will always be a negative number.
negative.
When you minus a negative number it is the same as adding a positive number, since minus a negative number is a plus. So 48 minus (-12) is 48 + 12 = 60
16

A negative number minus a positive number equals a minus number( E.G -5 - [+]5 = -10)A negative number minus a negative number equals a positive number ( If the number's big enough)(E.G -5 - -5 = 0 )Hope this helps :)
Minus twelve
No, 12/-4 = -3 A negative times negative is positive, so positive divided by negative is a negative.
-12 - (-3) Two negatives equal a positive. So, -12 + 3 = -9
Well, a positive number minus a greater positive number equals a negative number. But it's impossible for a negative number to be subtracted from any number.
Negative. Example: (-1) - (+1) = -2
