Sam John
-3 - 14 = -3 + 14 -3 - 14 = -3 + (-14)
=11 = -17
Describe how you got the answer PLZS

Answer 1

-17

Explanation:

ok well I can't really see Sam and John's answer but -3-14 is equal to -17

if you see that there's a negative in front of the first number and its also subtracting you have to make that subtract sign an addition sign then change the second number to a negative like this:

-3+-14 then you just add.

With Sam and John whichever one had -17 as their answer is correct
