For this case we have:

Given
a + b = 0, we want to find an expression equivalent to
a-b.

Let the equation
a + b = 0be:

Subtract -2b on both sides of the equation:


a + b-2b = 0-2b

Taking into account that different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:


a-b = -2b

Thus, an expression equivalent to
a-b is
-2b.

Answer:

-2b
