Answer:

Since both the numbers here are negative, just think about how 9-8 would be without the negatives. So, the equation 9 - 8 = 1. Since we are dealing with negative integers here, the positive 1 will now be -1.

Your final answer is (-9) - (-8) = -1.

Explanation:

I hope that this answer has helped you to better understand these type of equations.
