hello!

First, -43-(-7) is the same as -43+7, which is equal to:-

-36

Is the answer positive or negative? The sign in front of 36 will tell us whether the number is positive or negative.

It is negative, because there's a minus sign next to it.

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I'll comment and/or edit my answer :)
