28. Subtracting a negative number gives the same result as adding a positive.
What do you get when you subtract a positive from a positive?
Depends. If you are subtracting a bigger number from a smaller number, such as 3 - 5, you will get a negative result, -2. If you are subtracting a smaller number from a bigger number, such as 12 - 3 you will get a positive result, 9.

What is negative 11 minus 4?
Negative 15 (-15). Subtracting a positive yields the same result as adding a negative.
Why is it that when subtracting an integer gives the same result as adding the opposite?
Because of the definition of addition and subtraction. When looking at a real number line: when you add you move to the left or up, when you add the opposite of a number you move in the opposite direction.
What is the opposite of sum in math?

When adding or subtracting measurements, the number of significant figures in the result should match the measurement with the least number of decimal places.
What statement about subtracting integers is always true?
When subtracting integers, the result is equivalent to adding the opposite of the integer being subtracted. Specifically, for any integers ( a ) and ( b ), the statement ( a - b ) can be rewritten as ( a + (-b) ). This means that subtracting an integer is always the same as adding its negative.

What is the inverse operation of subtracting 12?
The inverse operation of subtracting 12 is adding 12. When you subtract 12 from a number, you can reverse that operation by adding 12 back to the result, returning to the original number. This relationship is fundamental in solving equations and understanding arithmetic operations.
What is the reverse of add 310?
The reverse of adding 310 is subtracting 310. If you start with a number and add 310, you can return to the original number by subtracting 310 from the result. This operation effectively undoes the initial addition.
What is negative 15 minus 12?
-3. Subtracting a negative number yields the same result as adding a positive.
If a negative number is subtracted from a positive number will that result always be positive?
"No. For instance -19 - 17 = -36. Not -2 as it may seem.-5 - 34 = -39. Even though a quick glance would make it seem to be 29"That is wrong... you are subtracting a positive from a negative the question consists of subtracting a positive from a negative. 15 {a positive} - (-5) {a negative} = 20 you minus the negative sign on the -5 to make +5 but we write it just as 5.Anyways to answer the original question. Yes Subtracting a number is the same as adding it's opposite, therefore adding a positive to a positive will always result in a positive.
