Question

Marissa subtracted a negative number from a positive number. Her result was negative. Is that reasonable

Answer 1

No.

Explanation:

Because it is a double negative, the difference will become positive.

For instance, 6 - (-4) = 10

(The subtraction and negative signs will become positive instead).

Answer 2

the result is a positive number not a negative number

Explanation:

a - ( -b)

We know that subtracting a negative is like adding

a+b

This would result in a positive number
