What are the rules for adding and subtracting negative numbers? Easy 10 Points!?

Adding together two negative numbers is the same as adding two positive numbers, but the result is negative. For example, -6 + -3 = -9 Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number. So for example, -6 - (-2) = -6 + 2 = -4. Sometimes it helps to think about or look at the real number line. Adding a negative or subtracting a positive makes to "travel" to the left on the real number line, while subtracting a negative or adding a positive makes you go to the right.

adding a negative number is just like subtracting it and subtracting it is just like adding it

a positive and a negative make a negative. a negative and a negative make a positive and a positive and a positive make a positive

just remember when you subtract negative numbers they stay negative but it is like regular addition mainly since they are same kind you add like -1-1=-2 when you add negative numbers first look at bigger number then subtract with other number like in this example -1+2= 1 in this +2 is biggest so 2-1=1

Positive times a positive = positive Negative times a negative = positive Negative times a positve = negative Positive time a negative = negative

-x + -x = -2x -x - -x = 0

the sky is blue

doesn't anyone actually pay attention in school anymore at least your right it was easy

Think of negative numbers as owing money, pouns or pence: eg -5+7 You owe 5 but you have 7, then you'll have 2 remaining. 5-7, you have 5 but you owe seven, you'll still owe 2, so it becomes negative -2 -5-7, you owe five and you owe seven, so you owe 12 in total, that'll be -12
