Subtracting a negative integer is the same as adding a positive integer. Adding a positive integer to any number always makes the answer larger than the original number. Therefore, if you subtract one negative integer from another your answer will be always be *greater* than the integer you started with.
I have a great list that might help you learn some octagon facts!
1. Umbrellas are in the shape of an octagon.
2. As a symbol, octagons symbolize regeneration, infinity, rebirth, and transitions.
3. Octagons are hard to draw...You can find Octagons anywhere if you just look... just kidding only around stop signs. Lol
4. Octagons have eight angles and eight sides.
5. Did you know that you can draw an octagon with just a compass and ruler.
There ya go!
Happy to help. Let me know if you have more questions or any concerns.

Keep in mind: The entire line segment (VX) is equal to 14.

Let's see how the line segment looks like first.
Line segment VX is 14 units long.
14
______________
V X
W is on the line segment somewhere, and VW is equal to 3.
3 ?
______________
V W X

We have to solve for the <em>?.</em> Let's put ? as x. So now we are solving for x.
We have to set up our equation like this:
x + 3 = 14
Since our unknown value plus 3 is equal to 14, we have to subtract 3 from 14 to get our answer.
14 - 3 = 11
3 11
______________
V W X

Answer:
-8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
63 - 71 = -8
X/4-9=5
x/4=14
x=14/4
x=7/2
x=3.5
