Question

When you subtract one negative integer from another, will your answer be greater than or less than the integer you started with??explain you reasoning and give an example.

PLEASE HELP ME!!6^_^

Answer 1

so say for example u have -7 - (-5), think of subtracting integers as adding the opposite, so ur adding the opposite of -5, the opposite of -5 is 5, so ur adding -7 and 5= -2
another one: -15 - (-18)
again, adding the opposite. -15 plus positive 18= 3
