negative number are you every day take away some say if you had 10 bucks and you want to buy something that costs 7 thats negative 7 dollars...

Another example if you only had $2 and you wanted to buy something that cost $4 then you would need two more dollars therefore -$2

Its not only that its has a lot to do with debt to if you borrowed money of a bank because you didn't have enough money to buy something.

Borrowed money: $4000

Money owed &2000

Object Wanted: $6000

Therefore you would owe the bank $4000 plus whatever interest so you would own -$4000 dollars
