It is a negative number whose magnitude is the sum of the magnitudes of the two numbers.For example,-5 - (+4) = -5 - 4 = -9It is a negative number whose magnitude is the sum of the magnitudes of the two numbers.For example,-5 - (+4) = -5 - 4 = -9It is a negative number whose magnitude is the sum of the magnitudes of the two numbers.For example,-5 - (+4) = -5 - 4 = -9It is a negative number whose magnitude is the sum of the magnitudes of the two numbers.For example,-5 - (+4) = -5 - 4 = -9
The sum of two numbers depends on their signs and relative magnitudes.Both positive: sum positive Both zero: sum zero Both negative: sum negative Larger magnitude positive, smaller magnitude negative: sum positive Larger magnitude negative, smaller magnitude positive: sum negative Same magnitude, one positive and other negative: sum zero.
It is the sign that is opposite, not the number But if the number magnitude is the same, it is correct to say that ,for example, negative 6 is the opposite of positive six. But negative 4 is not the opposite of negative 8, for example
It depends on the values of the negatives. if the second number has larger magnitude the answer is positive if not it remains negative. i.e. -3 - (-4) = -3 + 4 = 1 but -3 - (-2) = -3 + 2 = -1
