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.

negative number subtracted FROM a negative number will be negative
one and three-eights
Three eighths subtracted by one half in simplest form:3/8 - 1/2 is the same as 3/8 - 4/8 = negative 1/8.if you meant three eighths subtracted from one half in simplest form, it would be:1/2 - 3/8 is the same as 4/8 - 3/8 = 1/8.

Negative one third or -0.333
its a negative number.
negative 8 and positive 5 (-8) + (5) = -3 (-8) - (5) = -13
A negative number subtracted by a positive number will always end up negative.
