When we say 3-2=1 you simply take 3 pens,take 2 of them away.so left one is the result.1.How you think you shall show this one equation practically in your world, 2-3= -1.Do negative numbers exist.What are they.

For 3-2=1.

We used the practical situation that:

Suppose I had 3 pens and gave 2 to my friend.So now I will have 1 pen remaining.

For 2-3=-1.

Let's assume that I had 2 rupees and wanted to buy a toffee which was 3 rupees.So the shopkeeper gives me a toffee and informs me that I have to pay him 1 rupee extra the next time I visit his shop.

So here -1 represents the amount still left to be given to the shopkeeper.

So with the help of this example we can say that negative numbers do existand it shows the amount which is still left to be given.


Uhhh: if an amount having negative value is something still left to be given, should i say that "something still left to be given" exist.i nean what if next day you find no money with you.wut if u wait like 3 or 4 yers but sumhow u still don't have that 1 rupee with u.wut if u never really have a 1rupee 2 pay 4 da toffee .thats wut u say is a negative number (so do i)an amount lackin forever,.
Uhhh: But wut m tryna say is u never really have a 1 rupee.thats y u can say sumthin is still left 2b given which is -1.but wut is left to b given,a 1rupee coin, sumthin havin positiv value
Uhhh: well can i have a -1 pen in my hand instead 1pen?i have a -pen.means i had a pen which is not with me or as u assume,there is a pen 4 u but it is still left 2 b given,so there's is nothing with u.not a -pen.
Uhhh: n this process will continue in2 infinity in da case of ur example,hope m clear enough,coz if in middle sumhow u get a pen,u will no more say i have a -pen right?
Uhhh: to give existence 2 a negative value,we gotta have n empty hand,wait 4sumthin 4ever.during that waiting period all we have is empty hand,if i don't have anything,i say there's a -pen,if a i get it,i say i have a pen.hope u understand m tryna put my thoughts in txts.
Uhhh: all i wana say i can never have an amount having negative value i can never have a -pen or sumthin like that.n...all this stuffs show me that negative numbers don't exist,

if m saying i have a -book, gotta stand empty hand 4ever,m saying can i stand with a book in front of u n say,i have a -book! doesn't that mean negative doesn't exist?
MonsieurBrainly: negative is used to denote something which is going down or which is to be given to others
Uhhh: ya like i cross 5meter distance.thats goin up.if i cross 3meters fter crossin 5,then m going down,as u say.but all these things r pretty much like addition or subtraction.if i rise the temperature,or low it down,its all about adding or taking away.but m talkin about existance of sumthin havin negative value,i mean 5-1,this thing is not equal to 2is it.if we talk about going down or up,it simply means we tryna link 3apples with 34degree temperature or 13meter dstnc.
Uhhh: goin up or down r sorta works that can b done by adding or subtracting,m just tryna say,i can have 2books in my hand but not -2.we don't need 2 talk on going up or down
Uhhh: Subtraction n -1 they're never equal hope m bng clear
