A double minus becomes a plus as for example -2--5 = 3 but -2-5 = -7
yes.
two negatives makes a positive, meaning you add. i.e. 2 - -2 = 2+2 = 4
Either.
Depends on the actual numbers.-a-(-b) = -a+bIf a>b the answer's negativeIf aIf a=b the answer's 0
You can it just goes to negatives

When you have two negatives, you add the magnitudes, but since, you have both negatives, the direction of the resultant magnitude is along the negative direction, so you add the magnitude and put the negative sign.
Either.

To subtract a negative number is equivalent to adding a positive number. Two negatives multiplied make a positive.
When combining (adding) two negatives you get a negative. When multiplying two negatives you will get a positive.

When you subtract two negative numbers, you effectively add their absolute values. For example, subtracting -3 from -5, written as -5 - (-3), simplifies to -5 + 3, which equals -2. Thus, subtracting a negative number results in a positive change.
Multiplying and dividing two negatives does equal a positive. Adding two negatives equals a negative, but subtracting two negatives may or may not equal a positive. Ex. -2 * -4 = 8 -10/-2 = 5 -2+ -4 = -6 -4- -2 = -2 -2- -4 = 2
