First it is important to remember that, by definition, the result of a subtraction is called "Difference".

In this case you need to subtract 14 from 11. This can operation can be expressed as following:


11-14

Notice that , since 14 is greater than 11 and it is also a negative number, the sign of the result (the difference) must be negative too.

Therfefore, keeping the above on mind, you obtain that the difference is the following:


11-14=-3
