Final answer:
If you have 2 apples and try to take away 37, you cannot have a negative quantity of apples in reality. You would still have 2 apples; this may be an exercise in understanding negative numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question you're asking involves a basic arithmetic operation. If you start with 2 apples and you take away 37 apples, theoretically, you would have a negative number of apples since you cannot take more apples than you have. However, in the real world, you can't have a negative number of physical objects.
You would still have 2 apples because it is not possible to take away more apples than you actually have.
This could be a trick question or an exercise in understanding the concept of negative numbers.
