Answer 1

. 2) It’s positive only if the first integer is greater

Answer 2

Explanation:

The difference is sometimes positive. If the second number is smaller than the first, then the result will be positive..

Example

-4 - - 6 = -4 + 6 = 2 which is positive.

Remember - 6 is smaller than - 4. Think money. Which would you rather be: 4 dollars in the whole (-4) or 6 dollars in the whole (-6)?
