- 3 - 4 = ? or - 3 + (-4) = ?
- 3 - 4 = ?
- 3 - 4 = - 7
Answer = - 7
Minus and to Subtract are techincally the same.
- 3 - 4 = - 3 + (-4)
Positive 3 plus negative 5 minus negative 2 minus positive 4 is equal to -4.
4--3= 7 it is the same as 4+3=7. minus a negative is like plus a positive
It equals positive seven.
Positive 8.... is that right?
It depends on the values of the negatives. if the second number has larger magnitude the answer is positive if not it remains negative. i.e. -3 - (-4) = -3 + 4 = 1 but -3 - (-2) = -3 + 2 = -1
Negative plus a negative is a negative. Ex. -1+-1=-2 Negative times a negative is a positive. -2*-2=4 But a negative [minus] plus a positive [plus] can be minus, zero or plus: For example, -3 + 2 = -1 -3 + 3 = 0 -3 + 4 = +1
It depends on the values of the negatives. if the second number has larger magnitude the answer is positive if not it remains negative. i.e. -3 - (-4) = -3 + 4 = 1 but -3 - (-2) = -3 + 2 = -1
negative*negative=positive ex. negative 2*negative 2= positive 4
Positive minus a negative = positive plus a positive two negatives make a positive 3- (-1) = 3 + 1 = 4 5- (-7) = 12
Positive x Positive = Positive: 3 x 2 = 6Negative x Negative = Positive: (-2) x (-8) = 16Negative x Positive = Negative: (-3) x 4 = -12Positive x Negative = Negative: 3 x (-4) = -12
If you mean subtracting a negative number from another negative, then you simply add the second negative to the first number. For example: -3 - (-4)=1 -3 + 4 = 1 The double negative makes the equation an addition.
Negative ( - )
Yes, a negative plus a positive equals a negative IF the positive number is less than the negative number. For instance:-4 + 3 = -1BUT-4 + 5 = 1It just depends on the numbers involved.Just remember this rule:Subtract and take the sign of the largest number.For instance:In the problem -4 + 3 = -1, subtract by solving the problem 4 - 3 = 1. Since 4 is greater than 3 and 4 is negative, the answer would be negative.In the problem -4 + 5 = 1 , subtract by solving the problem 5 - 4 = 1. Since 5 is greater than 4 and 5 is positive, the answer would be positive.
you subtract the numbers then he higher number to start out with is the awnser. example: negative 3 - positive 7= 3-7=4 the higher number is 7 so i is positive. the final answer is positive 4
-4 - 8 = -12
Negative 7 over 8 minus 4 and 4 fifths = -227/40 or -527/40
