Example; 8-(-2) = 10 is the same as.......8+2 =10When you subtract a negative number, the subtraction symbol (-) and negative symbol(-) come together and you are now adding because it is a now a positive number (+). This is the simplist way I can describe it.

For example, subtract 5 from 7: 7 - 5 = 2 It is exactly the same if the positive number is subtracted from a negative number. Subtract 5 from -3 for example: -3 - 5 = -8 The value of the result is lower and the result will always be negative.
