Answer:
Not entirely sure about what the question is asking, but explanation of what I think it is asking.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are three basic rules of addition.
Positive + Positive = Positive Ex: 1+1=2
Negative + Negative = Negative Ex: -2+-2=-4
Negative + Positive = Positive or Negative depending on the value.
Ex= 1+(-2)=(-1)
Ex=2+(-1)=1
So subtraction problems can be turned into addition problems.
For example:
4-2 is the same as 4+(-2).
Or -5-7 is the same as -5+(-7).
Hope this makes sense.
