How to solve
Subtracting a number is the same as adding its opposite. Keep the first number, change minus to plus, and change the sign of the second number: 5 - (-2) = 5 + 2 = 7, and (-4) - 6 = (-4) + (-6) = -10. Then add using the integer addition rules.
Example
7 - 10 = ___
Answer: -3

💡 Subtracting 4 is the same as adding its opposite: (−9) − 4 = (−9) + (−4). Both numbers are negative, so add 9 + 4 = 13 and keep the minus sign: (−9) + (−4) = −13.
✓ Correct!
Not quite. The answer is
💡 Subtracting 4 is the same as adding its opposite: (−9) − 4 = (−9) + (−4). Both numbers are negative, so add 9 + 4 = 13 and keep the minus sign: (−9) + (−4) = −13.
