-6-12=18
Answer:
Negative 6 = -6
Positive 12 = 12
So, negative 6 subtracted by positive 12 is -6 – 12. - 6 – 12 = - (6 + 12)
= - (18)
Therefore, negative 6 subtracted by positive 12 is -18.

Depends which has the larger absolute value: Eg: -6 - (-10) = -6 + 10 = 4, a positive answer -6 - (-4) = -6 + 4 = -2, a negative answer
-12+6= -6
Rule: Positive + Positive = Positive 12+12=24 Positive - Positive = Positive or Negative 12-6=6 | 12-13=(-1) Positive + Negative = Greater numbers sign in the answer 14+(-18)=(-4) | 18+(-14)=4 Positive - Negative = Positive 8-(-8)=16 Negative + Negative = Negative -12+(-12)=(-24) Negative - Negative = Positive or Negative (-8)-(-9)=1 | (-8)-(-7)=(-1) by, Patrick Macarilay AKA, macason
Pretend the negative number is positivedivide the positive number by a positive numbermake the result negative.For example, divide 12 by -6:Pretend -6 is 6divide 12 by 6 to get 2make the result negative to give -2Thus 12 ÷ -6 = -2
-18. Subtracting a positive number has the same effect as adding a negative.
