You can subtract a negative number from a positive number or add a positive number to a negative number
Example:
4 - (7) = -3
Or
-8 + 9 = 1
Whatever you are adding has to be greater than the number you are adding on too
Example:
-3 + 5 = 2
Notice how the five is greater than 3
Whatever you are subtracting has to be Greater than the number you are subtracting from.
Example:
5 - 8 = -3
Notice how the eight is greater than five.
The situation changed when adding or subtracting with negative numbers. Every situation is different.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!

Answer:
7 billion but it's getting close to 8 billion
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = the distance from Delany's house to the mall
so half the distance would be 1/2x
then it is 5 miles less than that so you would subtract 5 to give you 1/2x-5
and that is more than 6 miles so you get 1/2x-5>6
The right answer is B.
The first step to answering this question is combining all like terms.
A. 2x + 2 + 2x + 3x - 8
The like terms in this expression are the x terms and the constants
So, what you would do is combine all of the x terms and combine all of the constants
(2x + 2x +3x) + (2 - 8)
7x - 6
B. 4 + 7x - 2
In this expression, you would combine all of the constants
7x + (4 - 2)
7x + 2
C. -2 + 5x + 2x - 4
For this expression, you would again, combine all of the x terms and all of the constants.
-2 + 5x + 2x - 4
(5x + 2x) + (-2 - 4)
7x - 6
D. 8x - x - 6
For this expression, you would combine all of the x terms
8x - x - 6
(8x - x) - 6
7x - 6
Now let's look at all of the new answer choices:
A. 7x - 6
B. 7x + 2
C. 7x - 6
D. 7x - 6
The question is asking you to find the one expression that's different. The only different one is B, so that's the answer.
