If you have negative 8 and subtract 3, you keep going backwards...so you get negative 11. or if you have negative 3 apples, and take away 3, then you have negative 6 apples.
Subtraction of a negative number from another negative number can be positive
For example:
If you have negative three and subtract negative eight you get positive five.
-3 - (-8) = 5

What are the rules when adding or subtracting negative numbers?
When subtracting negative numbers change the subtraction sign to a plus and change the second number (which would appear to be positive) to a negative. ex. -14 - 7=?/-14 + -7= -21 When adding negative numbers just add them as they appear. ex. -2 + -5= -7

When you do negative numbers do you start with the negative number or positive?
When working with negative numbers, you typically start with the number that represents the value you are calculating. If you are adding or subtracting, you consider the signs of both numbers. For example, when adding a negative number, you effectively subtract its absolute value from the other number; when subtracting a negative number, you add its absolute value. Therefore, the process depends on the specific operation being performed.
