Negative 12 minus 3 plus 9 is equal to -6
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
-3-(-6) = positive3
-7--1=6. A double minus makes a plus.

31-(-6) We know minus and minus becomes plus 31+6 37
-7--1=6. A double minus makes a plus.
A positiveIMPROVED: -2-6 = -8but if you have 2 - -3 then the minus's will become a PLUS, so it'll be 2+3 which is 5.
