a negative number minus a negative number is a negative number plus a negative number

the answer depends on the value of the first number

if the first number's absolute value is larger than the second number's absolute value than the answer is negative

if the first number's absolute value is less than the second number's absolute value than the answer is positive

A positive number. ALWAYS!!!

3 - (-5) = 3 + 5 = 8

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number.
