Question

Which question is the same as -4 - (-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

-4 + 2 = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 -(-2) uses the process of cancellation. -(-2) is equal to positive 2, since the negatives cancel out. -4 + 2 is left, which equals -2.

Subtracting a negative from a negative is like subtracting a positive from a positive. It is even like 1-1. Once you subtract one from another, nothing is left.
