The KEY with subtracting a negative number is that it's the same thing as ADDING a positive.
So 4 - MINUS 11 is the same thing as adding 4 and POSITIVE 11, which would give you 15.

since you are subtracting a negative number, you change it to positive so it is just 4+ 11, so the answer is 15.

The answer is 15. Any time you have two "minus" signs next to each other like that, it makes a "plus" sign. So another way to write the equation "4-(-11)" would be "4+11" which equals "15."
