Answer:

It would be a negative or positive depending on the situation.

Explanation:

A negative minus a negative would result in either a positive or negative. For example, -8 - (-9) would be 1 while -8 - (-7) would be -1. If the negative number your subtracting is greater than the number you're subtracting from then it will be positive, vice versa.
