The result can be either positive or negative, depending on the sizes of those original two negative numbers. (-8) minus (-10) = positive 2 (-8) minus (-5) = negative 3
6 - -2 = 8
-2
+2 + -1= 1
3-(-2)=5

-1/2+7/10
If you mean when you subtract a negative from a positive what does it make? If so, you will get a positive answer. This is because the two negative symbols are basically multiplied, and if you multiply two negatives you get a positive, so a positive number minus a negative number becomes a positive number plus a positive number. 6 - (-5) = 11 2 - (-10) = 12 125 - (-15) = 140

You will get a positive integer. If you subtract a negative number, you will be adding it. I think of it like 2 minuses equals a plus. :P
-2
1
2 negatives make a positive
+2 + -1= 1
It´s like adding them. You pretend that the second number is a positive number and then you add the two numbers together. For example: (-7) - (-2) = -7 + 2 = -5 (-2) - (-7) = -2 + 7 = 5
5-2=5-x x=2
