Take note: i) Negative + Negative = -(Add the two numbers) Example: -10 + -3 = - (10+3) = -13. Therefore: -8 + -3 = -11. ( Just add the two numbers and put the minus sign).
ii) Small number - Big number = - (big number - small number). Example: 3 - 5 = - (5-3) = -2. (just subtract the small number from the big number and add the minus sign)
Negative/negative=Positive (they cancel out) negative/Positive=negative negative X negative = Positive (they cancel out) negative X Positive = Negative when adding the negatives will not cancel. If the negative number is bigger the it will = a negative and Viceversa
