To subtract a negative number from one you will need to set it up like this

1- (-x) x equals the negative number you're talking about

so we use the method KCC (keep change change)

So we KEEP the positive one, CHANGE the subtraction sign in to a plus sign "+" then CHANGE the negative number to a positive

lets say the negative number is 2

1-(-2)

1+ (+2)

1+2 = 3

when you subtract a negative number from any platitude number the equation changes to addition so you would add the value of the negative number to 1.
