Well, isn't that a happy little math problem! When we subtract a negative number, it's like adding a positive number. So, 7 minus negative 5 is the same as 7 plus 5, which equals 12. Just like adding a splash of color to a painting, math can be quite beautiful when you see it in a new light.

7 minus negative five would look like 7-(-5). Two negatives equal a positive so the equation looks like 7+5 which equals positive 12

This really helped with my work! :)

When you subtract a negative number, it is the same as adding its positive counterpart. Therefore, 7 minus negative 5 is equivalent to 7 plus 5, which equals 12.

Oh, dude, 7 minus a negative 5 is like adding 5 to 7, so that's 12. It's like math trying to play tricks on us, but we see through its sneaky ways. So yeah, the answer is 12.
