Yes, negative numbers can be either odd or even, just like positive numbers. And odd positive number can be made into an odd negative number, by reversing the sign. So for example, 5 and -5 are both odd.

Subtracting negative and positive numbers?

Basically if there is an even number of negatives, then it turns to positive, but if there is an odd number of negatives then it is a negative: 3-(-3) there are two minuses so it is even so it will turn positive: 3+3=6 Or with: 3+(-3) there is an odd minus amount (1) so it is minus 3-3=0 which can be seen all the time with 3-3 can actually be 3-(+3)
