when theres 2 negatives do you?

Question

subtract them or add them and it stays as a negative?

Answer 1

depends on your numbers
-3 - -4 = -3 + 4 = 1
It becomes plus four because two negatives makes a positive the answer is positive because four is biiger than three
-3 - -2 = -3 + 2 = -1
The answer is negative because 3 is bigger than 2
But If you're adding
-2 + -6 = -8
Both signs are the same so the answer has that sign.
-4 + 9 = 5
When adding take the sign of the higher number
-6 + 2 = -4

Answer 2

Let's say you have two negative numbers, -3 and -5

When you add them together:
(-3) + (-5) = -3 -5 = (-8)

When you subtract one from another:
(-3) - (-5) = -3 + 5 = 2

When you subtract one from another in reverse order:
(-5) - (-3) = -5 + 3 = (-2)

As you can see, the answer really depends on the numbers you are dealing with. It is far more effective to learn how the signs and operations change when you deal with negative signs along with operations, such as additons and subtractions.

Answer 3

if its -4 + -2 the answer is -6 but if its -4 - -2 the answer is -2. a negative in front of a subtraction sign is made into an addition sign (bo-bop)

Answer 4

You add them and they stay negative. That's in math. In English they cancel each other out. So if you say"He can't having nothing" it means he can have something.

Answer 5

you add them
look at negative as a debt you have to pay and positives the money you have
