Oh, dude, negative 8 is actually less than negative 3. It's like saying, "Hey, which is worse, stubbing your toe or stepping on a LEGO?" Negative numbers work in a similar way, just in the world of math instead of pain. So yeah, negative 3 is the lesser of the two evils in this case.

No it is more negative. Think of it like this. It's the complete opposite of Positive numbers. (regular non-negative numbers). Also, you have to subtract to get to -8, and obviously subtract means take away.

What does negative minus negative equal?

It depends If the first negative (lets say -12) is less than the second (-8), than the answer is still ngative, just greater than the first number ((-12)-(-8)=(-12)+8=-4) If the first negative (lets say -3) is greater than the second (-5), then the answer is positve ((-3)-(-5)=(-3)+5=2) This is because when you subtract a negative number, youre really multiplying it by -1 and adding it to the first. ((-1)x(-3)=-(-3)=3)
