Hey! A minus sign followed by a negative sign turns the two signs into plus signs. -7 -(-4) would ultimately be -11.

Answer:

-7-(-4)= -3

Explanation:

Subtracting a negative number from a negative number – a minus sign followed by a negative sign, turns the two signs into a plus sign. So, instead of subtracting a negative, you are adding a positive.
