I Think It's Because When Looking At A Number Line,Like -98 - 98,You Would Add It Instead,-98 + 98 = 0,If It Was -98 - 99 It'd Be 1,But How I See A Negative Number Would Be Like This:-45 - 45,Add 1 To -45 Until You Do That 45 Times,You'd Get 0,That's How It Worked For Me When I Tried,Please Correct Me If I'm Right
