Answer:

googles explanation is below

Explanation:

Rule 3: Subtracting a negative number from a negative number – a minus sign followed by a negative sign, turns the two signs into a plus sign. So, instead of subtracting a negative, you are adding a positive. Basically, - (-4) becomes +4, and then you add the numbers. For example, say we have the problem -2 - –4.
