What is a negative minus a negative?
A negative minus a negative turns the latter into a plus positive,for example -6 minus -3 would be :-6 ++ 3 = -3A minus negative always turns into a plus positive...To get more Specific:Suppose x and y are two POSITIVE numbers so that -x and -y are negative. Then a negative minus a negative = (-x) - (-y) = -x +yIf x > y the answer is negativeIf x = y the answer is zeroIf x < y the answer is positive
What does a minus take a minus equal?
A minus minus a minus will give a positive result. It will depend on the actual values. It will cause a positive movement, but still could result in a negative number. Consider these two examples. In both cases there is a positive movement but only the second results in an actual positive number:-6 - -2 = -4-2 - -6 = 4
What is negative 6 minus 1?
Negative 6 minus 1 is equal to negative 7. When subtracting a positive number from a negative number, you essentially add the additive inverse of the positive number to the negative number. In this case, the additive inverse of 1 is -1, so -6 + (-1) = -7.
