To subtract a negative number is equivalent to adding a positive number. Two negatives multiplied make a positive.

When one number is subtracted from another number, the result is known as the difference.
It is called the difference.
False. Counterexample: -1 - (-2) = -1 + 2 = 1.
less than
In the same way that you would answer a fraction subtract another fraction. The result could be either positive or negative, just as is the case with negative whole numbers.
Another way to subtract 11.35 - 3.98 is to add the negative of the second number to the first. This can be expressed as 11.35 + (-3.98). Alternatively, you can also round 3.98 to 4 for a quick estimate, subtract 4 from 11.35 to get 7.35, and then adjust by adding back the difference (0.02) to refine your answer.
i think you just add it and put the negative sign in front of it
When you subtract one number from another, the result is called the difference. What does your question mean? If by "when two whole numbers are subtracted" you mean that you subtract one whole number from the minuend, and then you subtract another whole number from the difference, then the answer you get is another difference. In effect, you have one minuend and two subtrahends.
The difference is then obtained
When you subtract a negative integer from another integer, the result is greater than the original integer. This is because subtracting a negative is equivalent to adding its positive counterpart. For example, subtracting -3 from 5 (5 - (-3)) is the same as adding 3, resulting in 8, which is greater than 5.
The number you get when you subtract a number from another number.
minus, take away
The answer when subtracting one number from another is called a difference. When subtracting one fraction from another, it is still called a difference.
always a negative number. just think about going backwards on a number line.
To subtract one integer from another, you can use the concept of adding the opposite. For example, to compute ( a - b ), you can instead add the negative of ( b ) to ( a ): ( a + (-b) ). This effectively shifts the value of ( a ) in the direction indicated by ( b ), resulting in the correct difference.
