The 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.
