A negative subracting a positive will end up as a negative. Explanation: If you have 3 negatives, you cannnot take 3 positives from it, so you need to add 3 zeros, (which are both negative and positive), to the negative side. The number zero means nothing, so it will not alter the question. KEY _ =negative + =positive _+ =zero _ _ _ needs _+ _+ _+ to subract + + + Once you take the 3 positives from the negative side, you will be left with 6 negatives _ _ _ _+_+_+ minus + + + leaves you with _ _ _ _ _ _ *NOTE* You may be thinking, "But the zero did count! It's symbol left a mark on the answer!". Wrong. Zero in math means nothing, and that is how it will stay. You only needed it because it had the positive sign you were looking for. But because it is both positive and negative, you will be left with a negative when you take away the positive, and a positive when you take away the negative. This is why a positive subracting a negative will equal a negative.

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number:6 - (-3) = 6 + 3Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number:6 - (-3) = 6 + 3Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number:6 - (-3) = 6 + 3Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number:6 - (-3) = 6 + 3
-3 - -1 = -2 -3 + -1 = -2 When you are subtracting a negative from a negative it becomes a positive. For example 6 - -2 = 8 but 6 + -2 = 4. The two negatives cancel each other out and become a positive.
5 - 11 = -6 (negative six)
You start with -6you add (+)-10then take away (-)-2what do you get?Adding a negative is subtracting, and subtracting (taking away) a negative is adding. (-6) + (-10) - (-2) = ?-6 - 10 + 2 = -14 ◄
If you have negative 8 and subtract 3, you keep going backwards...so you get negative 11. or if you have negative 3 apples, and take away 3, then you have negative 6 apples. Subtraction of a negative number from another negative number can be positive For example: If you have negative three and subtract negative eight you get positive five. -3 - (-8) = 5
2*3>2-8/6-4?

3 + -9 = 3 - 9 = -6 (negative 6)
If 6 is subtracted from 0.75, the answer would be -5.25. The difference is negative because the minuend is smaller than subtrahend.
5/6 - 2/6 = 3/6 or 1/2
