Yes, -3/-6 is the same as -3/6. However, the first is an improper formatting for fractions. It's most commonly taught in early fractional and negative fractional education (such as addition) to assist students in remembering both numbers are negative. It should be read as "Negative three over six".
Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number:6 - (-3) = 6 + 3Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number:6 - (-3) = 6 + 3Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number:6 - (-3) = 6 + 3Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the corresponding positive number:6 - (-3) = 6 + 3
Positive 3 minus negative 3 can be expressed as 3 - (-3). Subtracting a negative is the same as adding its positive counterpart, so this becomes 3 + 3, which equals 6. Therefore, positive 3 minus negative 3 is 6.
positive 4 over 9
Negative. Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive. -2 + -3= -2 - 3= -5, not 1
-3 and 2/3
Well, darling, when you have a positive 8 and you subtract a negative 3, you're basically adding 3 to 8. So the answer is 11. Math doesn't have to be complicated, honey, just remember to keep those signs straight.
It's the same as adding a positive number.
You carry out the division ignoring the negative sign and then re-insert the negative sign. It does not matter which of the two numbers is negative. But if they are both negative, then the answer is positive.-2/3 = -2/32/-3 = -2/3-2/-3 = 2/3
positive 0.4 (or 2/5)
the reciprocal would be negative 3 over 7, unless you are trying to find the negative reciprocal, then the answer would be positive 3 over 7. hope this helped you :)
When you subtract a negative number, it has the same effect as adding a positive number. Therefore, in this instance, 16 - (-3) = 16 + 3 = 19.
When you add a positive number and a negative number, it is the same as subtracting the negative number from the positive number. For example:4 + (-5) is the same as 4 - 5 (which is -1).One more example:(-10) + 15 is the same as 15 + (-10) (because it doesn't matter what order you add numbers), which is the same as 15 - 10. (which is 5).A bit more:That depends on the value of the positive (plus) and the negative (-) numbers. For example, if you add a positive 5 with a negative 3 (-3), the answer will be a positive 2. But if you reverse it and add a negative 5 (-5) with a positive 3 (+3), the answer will be a -2.
