Question

Suppose you need to subtract a from b but mistakenly subtract b from a instead. How is the answer you get related to the correct answer? Explain.

Answer 1

it would be negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

when you subtract a value from a value, the result will be left to the larger number. if you subtract a larger number from a smaller number, the value will move left but since the value subtracted is more than the number minus itself, you would be subtracting from 0, therefore resulting in a negative number.
