It is a negative number whose magnitude is the sum of the magnitudes of the two numbers.
For example,
-5 - (+4) = -5 - 4 = -9

A negative number minus a positive number equals a minus number( E.G -5 - [+]5 = -10)A negative number minus a negative number equals a positive number ( If the number's big enough)(E.G -5 - -5 = 0 )Hope this helps :)
A minus plus a minus is not necessarily positive. A minus multiplied by a minus is. The reason being that the minus of a minus is a positive. It's a double negative.
Positive 3 plus negative 5 minus negative 2 minus positive 4 is equal to -4.
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.
The same as a positive one. If you are multiplying a positive number by a negative, the answer will be negative. If you are multiplying a negative number by a negative, the answer will be positive.
A negative number minus a positive number will always be a negative number.
negative.
That is correct. If you subtract a positive number from a negative number, your result is negative.

you change the minus to a positive and change the 2nd positive number to a negative number..the answer can be either negative or positive depending on the sign of the greatest number(:
Because minus a negative number is equivalent to plus a positive number. So, in effect, you have a positive number plus a positive number and that is going to be positive.
Well, a positive number minus a greater positive number equals a negative number. But it's impossible for a negative number to be subtracted from any number.
if a positive number minus a negative number, the minus turns to a plus sign. so its positive Ex. 2- -4= 2+4=6
Negative. Example: (-1) - (+1) = -2
a negative minus a positive is like addition, you take the negative add the positive, then make that number a negative.Example-5 - 4add them5 + 4= 9make that number a negative= -9
