Question

how do we subtract integer (negative)

Answer 1

Hey mate,

To subtract integers, change the sign on the integer that is to be subtracted. If both signs are positive, the answer will be positive. If both signs are negative, the answer will be negative. If the signs are different subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

*If the two numbers are having the same signs, put the sign out of the brackets and sum up the numbers without taking into cosideration their signs: that is -a-b= -(a+b)

*If the two numbers are having different signs, put the sign of the bigger number and do normal subtraction without taking into cosideration their signs: that is if a>b, a-b= +(a-b) or -b+a= +(a-b)

                      if b>a; a-b= -(b-a) or b-a= +(b-a) or -b+a= -(b-a) or -a+b= +(b-a)
