Well, darling, when you have a positive 8 and you subtract a negative 3, you're basically adding 3 to 8. So the answer is 11. Math doesn't have to be complicated, honey, just remember to keep those signs straight.
When you subtract a negative number, it has the same effect as adding a positive number. Therefore, in this instance, 16 - (-3) = 16 + 3 = 19.
3
Depends. If you are subtracting a bigger number from a smaller number, such as 3 - 5, you will get a negative result, -2. If you are subtracting a smaller number from a bigger number, such as 12 - 3 you will get a positive result, 9.
That would be false. When you subtract two positive numbers, you only go into negatives if the number you are subtracting is greater than the number it's being subtracted from. 3 - 2 = 1 2 - 3 = -1
