You have that at the end of a game Kim has 65 poins, and Kim's sister has -12 points

In order to calculate the differnece between the points of both Kim and her sister, you procede as follow:

65 - (-12)

you eliminate parenthesis, bu taking into account that the minus sing before the parenthesis change the sign of the number inside. Then, you have:

65 - (-12)

65 + 12 = 77

Hence, the difference between Kim points and her sister is 77 points
