A negative and a negative can yield a positive result in some cases.SubtractionSubtracting a negative number is the same as adding its negative value, which is positive. So if the subtracted number is larger in value, the answer will be positive.(-4) - (-3) = (-4) + 3 = (-1) * the subtracted number was not large enough(-4) - (-8) = (-4) + 8 = 4 *the subtracted number was large enough to yield a positiveMultiplication and DivisionWhenever a negative number and a negative number are multiplied or divided, the negative signs "cancel out" and the result is positive.(-2) x (-3) = 6(-6) / (-3) = 2A multiplication or division involving one negative and one positive will, however, have a negative result.

4 1/2 - 9 = -4 1/2 (negative four and a half)
-4
Depends which has the larger absolute value: Eg: -6 - (-10) = -6 + 10 = 4, a positive answer -6 - (-4) = -6 + 4 = -2, a negative answer

negative number subtracted FROM a negative number will be negative
It would be -2 - x .
7/8-2/4 you would convert 2/4 to 4/8 and then subtract, which would give you -3/8 which is -.375 or negative 37.5 percent.
