If both signs are positive, the answer will be positive.
Example: 14 - (-6) = 14 + 6 = 20If both signs are negative, the answer will be negative.
Example: -14 - (+6) = -14 - 6 = -20If the signs are different subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value. The sign will be the sign of the integer that produced the larger absolute value.
Example: 14 - (+6) = 14 - 6 = 8
Example: -14 - (-6) = -14 + 6 = -8
