Question

What would -2 - (-7) be? And how would you do that

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so adding negative numbers can get very tricky, but I think I can help

Since there are two negative signs next to each other, they both cancel out and become positive so instead you get

-2+7

And if you do this with a number line, if you start and negative 2 and keep going right 7 times, you get 5

I hope I helped! I know negative numbers can be really difficult, but once you get the hang of it I bet you'll be great!
