Zero is the neutral element of addition; a + 0 = a, for any a. Since a x 0 = 0 and -1 x a = -a, it follows that -1 x 0 = -0 (although this is often not differentiated from +0, and indeed is not commonly acepted as being different except in limits; thus -0 = +0 = 0). a + (-b) = a - b, and thus a - 0 = a + (-0) = a + 0 = a, as required by the neutral element property.
Subtracting a fraction is the same as adding its negative.
Subtracting a negative is the same as adding the equivalent positive. For example, subtracting minus 10 is the same as adding 10.
Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive. 9 - 9 = 0 9 + (-9) = 0
Addition and subtraction can be thought of as the same thing because subtracting a negative number is the same as adding it and adding a negative number is the same as subtracting it.

0
When adding or subtracting fractions their denominators must be the same
Ensure that the denominators are the same when adding or subtracting fractions.
-4
adding is 2+2=4 and subtraction is 2-2=0
0
Yes.
This is effectively the same as lining up the decimal points when adding or subtracting ordinary decimal fractions.
