Question

1. Why does -6 - (-2) = -4? Be clear and complete.

Answer 1

-6 - (-2) = -4

Multiply the negative sign with the term inside the bracket.
Negative x negative = positive

-6 + 2 = -4

since the signs of 6 and 2 are opposite, we will subtract them, which equals 4

-6 + 2 = 4

The sign of the great number is written with the answer. In this case, 6 is the greater number and its sign is negative.

-4 = -4

Answer 2

When subtracting negative numbers the two negatives (the one on the 2 and the minus sign) cancel out and change it to -6+2. from there you just add 2 to negative 6 ang get negative 4
