The difference between two negative numbers is negative if the second number ( the number you are subtracting from the first) is less in value than the first.
For example (-3) - ( -2) = -3 + 2 = -1
(-3) - (-4) = -3 + 4 = + 1
If difference is taken to mean the first number minus the second then the answer can be positive or negative (or zero if the two numbers are the same). For example: the difference between -5 and -3 is -2 while the difference between -3 and -5 is +2.
No. You can subtract two whole numbers and get a negative result. Whole numbers can't be negative.
the difference is also doubled
The difference between a positive integer and a negative integer is ALWAYS positive.Suppose X and Y are positive so that -Y is negative,The the difference two numbers, A and B is A - B so the difference between X and (-Y) is X - (-Y) which equals X + Y. The sum of two positive numbers is always positive.
-7 and 4?
