∙ 6y agoThe difference between a positive integer and a negative integer is ALWAYS positive.
Suppose X and Y are positive so that -Y is negative,
The the difference two numbers, A and B is A - B so the difference between X and (-Y) is X - (-Y) which equals X + Y. The sum of two positive numbers is always positive.

No, a positive minus a negative can be either or positive or a negative.
negative
natural numbers can not be negative. integers can be both positive and negative.
The smallest positive integer is 1. 1 is the multiplicative identity; ie anything times 1 is itself. The greatest negative integer is the most positive negative integer which is -1. Therefore the product of the greatest negative integer and the smallest positive integer is the greatest negative integer which is -1.
No, if a negative integer is multiplied by a positive integer, the product is negative. However, if both of the integers are either positive or negative, the product is positive.

No, a positive minus a negative can be either or positive or a negative.
No, because if the positive was 8, and the negative was -4, the difference would be positive four.

The difference between any numbers is always positive.
In the end, there is no difference because subtracting a negative integer is the same as adding a positive integer. 1-(-1)=2 1+1=2
