When you subtract a negative you might as well just add the two together. Ex) 17 - -4 =21 or 17 + 4 =21 Just remember to keep track of your signs.
A negative.

If you subtract positive twenty-seven from negative sixty-nine, you would get negative forty-two. You simply subtract the 27 from the 69 but leave the negative sign.

Subtract negative 3.
One thing that worked for me was to subtract the smaller from the bigger and then put a negative sign in front. Just as in subtracting 23 from 17. To calculate 17 - 23 calculate 23 - 17 = 6 and put a minus sign in front: -6. Same process.
