Lets take (-4) - (-6)
= -4 + 6 (here we changed the sign because in integers when you are subtracting <span>an integer, we put its opposite..thats the rule .)
=. -4 + 6 = 2
so here we got the answer as 2 .....this shows that </span>your answer will be less than the integer you started with ....this is because here in subtraction we will first change the sign and then follow the same rules of addition ...so here if both the numbers have opposite signs then we subtract and put the greater number sign .....

Hope i am right !!!</span>
B. 5:10 because 15-5=10 which is the number of pencils with erasers and the 5 left are the amount of pencils which are missing an eraser
4 - 9x = -14
4 - 4 - 9x = -14 - 4
9/9x = -18/9
x = -2
Answer: 3 times greater
Step-by-step explanation:
Height: 4x3=12
Length: 3x3=9
Width: 3x3=9
The sides on the red cuboid times by 3 equals the sides on the purple one.
Hope this helps :)
