Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number — that is, go up on the number line. This rule works regardless of whether you start with a positive number or a negative number.

When subtracting a negative number, remember that the two back-to-back minus signs cancel each other out, leaving you with a plus sign.

Subtracting Negative and Positive Integers

To subtract integers, change the sign on the integer that is to be subtracted.

If both signs are positive, the answer will be positive.

Example: 14 - (-6) = 14 + 6 = 20

If both signs are negative, the answer will be negative.

Example: -14 - (+6) = -14 - 6 = -20

If the signs are different subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value. The sign will be the sign of the integer that produced the larger absolute value.

Example: 14 - (+6) = 14 - 6 = 8

Example: -14 - (-6) = -14 + 6 = -8
