Answer:

Negative

Explanation:

Because Depending on which number is the biggest it's negative and the rules say the same signs add different subtract and keep the sign of the bigger number so

positive minus a negative= positive (6-3=3)

negative-positive= negative (-10+5= -5)

Example: What is 6 − (−3)? Yes indeed! Subtracting a negative is the same as adding!
