The answer can be either positive or negative. It depends on which one is bigger.

Subtracting a negative number from a negative number—when you see the subtraction (minus) sign followed by a negative sign, turn the two signs into a plus sign. Thus, instead of subtracting a negative, you are adding a positive.
