Subtraction: 6-3 = 6 subtract 3 = 3
Negative: -5+-6 = negative 5 plus negative 6 = -11
Opposite: -(-4) = the opposite of negative 4 = 4
Hope this helps. :)

Well it could be a plain subtraction sign or it means that a real number is 'negative'.

It means that the numbers are negatives for example: -8, negative eight.

It's usually referred the negative, but if it's in front of a variable, it's the opposite. For example, -B is the opposite of B.

Hmm, all I can think of is subtraction and negation (-1, for example).
That is, unless you're talking about pairing it with < or > for "less than or equal to" (â¤) and "greater than or equal to" (â¥). However, I think you're stretching it a little with these.
