There's no general rule. The result could be positive and it could also
be negative. It depends on how big both numbers are.
(neg 5) minus (neg 7) = pos 2
(neg 5) minus (neg 3) = neg 2
The same as with positive ones. Make sure they have the same denominator and add or subtract their numerators.
A little awkwardly phrased, so I'll answer both ways. To subtract a negative from anything, add its positive. To subtract a positive from a negative, the equation is treated as though you are adding two postives, the result is negative.
That is correct. If you subtract a positive number from a negative number, your result is negative.
Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive; the result will be positive.
yes
2 negatives make a positive
No, you add the positive to the negative.
positive is to add and negative is to subtract in math
If you mean when you subtract a negative from a positive what does it make? If so, you will get a positive answer. This is because the two negative symbols are basically multiplied, and if you multiply two negatives you get a positive, so a positive number minus a negative number becomes a positive number plus a positive number. 6 - (-5) = 11 2 - (-10) = 12 125 - (-15) = 140
If you subtract a negative from a positive, add both of their absolute values. If you subtract a positive from a negative, add both of their absolute values and multiply by negative one.
subtract the negative from the positive
If you subtract positive twenty-seven from negative sixty-nine, you would get negative forty-two. You simply subtract the 27 from the 69 but leave the negative sign.
To subtract a negative number is equivalent to adding a positive number. Two negatives multiplied make a positive.

It can be a negative or positive fraction, a negative or positive integer, or zero.
