since 10 is negative it's like adding the 2 to it since you're subtracting, you're going further away from 0. giving you 12 then you keep the negative sign.

Answer:

-12

Explanation:

-10 - 2 = -12

When two numbers have same sign, add and the result will have the common sign

Sign of 10 is (-)

Sign of 2 is (-)

So add and put the (-) for the answer

-12
