The easy way to subject a higher number from a lower number is to reverse the operation and then add a negative sign.

a - b =

-b + a =

-(b-a)


Basically take the second number and subject the first number from it. Then add a negative sign in front of the number.


So for this problem:

6 - 55 = -55 + 6 = -(55-6) = -49


We took 55 (the first number) and subtracted 6 from it and got 49. Than we added a negative sign in front of the answer that we got and got -49.
