When you subtract a negative number, it is the same as adding its positive counterpart. Therefore, positive 8 minus negative 3 is the same as positive 8 plus 3, which equals positive 11.
Oh, dude, it's like simple math, right? So, positive 8 minus negative 3 is just positive 11. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
When you subtract a negative from a positive, its like adding a positive. 8-(-3) is the same as 8+3. Always remember, subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.
It depends. (a) a positive minus a smaller positive is positive, (b) a positive minus a positive of the same size is zero, and (c) a positive minus a bigger positive is negative. For example, (a) 8 - 6 = 2 (b) 8 - 8 = 0 (c) 8 - 11 = -3
Minus a negative means you can plus a positive so therefore the answer would be positive 8.
The answer is 8. 5-(-3)(subtracting a negative is the same as 5+3(adding a positive).
Positive 8.... is that right?
