Lets say you are in debt to a bank and have a negative balance. If I subtract that balance (take the negative balance off you) then you have gained money. That is the easiest way to imagine it. I do understand mathematical concepts are not alwys easy to understand.
A negative number.
Negative answer if the negative number is bigger. Positive answer if the positive number is bigger.
A positive number. Positive Number x Positive Number = Positive Number Positive Number x Negative Number = Negative Number Negative Number x Negative Number = Positive Number
The numbers are 26 and -14
its always positive (ex: 3- -4 is the same as 3+4 so its always positive) -kristaaamaziingg Let's say: [+5]+[-1]=? +5 +-1 <-----Doesn't matter if it's plus or minus, not the same thing as positive or negative _____ ?=[-4] $$$$$ [Green or Positive] <-----How much I have $$$$ [Red or Negative] <-----How much I owe Cross out how much you have, it's almost like money. -SummerGal1998 P.S. If you have any questions send me a message. I think this question can be easily misunderstood. Is the question asking if a negative number is subtracted from a positive number or is it asking if a positive number is subtracted by ( made less by) a negative number. If the second is true then this previous answer is wrong. It seems to me the question is for example: -3-(4) =-7.
A negative number subtracted by a positive number will always end up negative.
negative number subtracted FROM a negative number will be negative
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.
Always yes
If you multiply a positive number by a negative it always equals a negative number.Depends what you mean by "and".If they're added: neverIf they're subtracted: sometimesIf they're multiplied or divided: always
If the integer subtracted is smaller than or equal to the first integer, then the answer is positive. Otherwise, if the integer subtracted is larger, then the answer is negative.
no it doesnt. two negative numbers equal a negative number. two postivie numbers equal a positive number. one negative and one positive number equal a negative number.
