when you subtract one negative integer form another will your answer be greater than or less than the integer you started with?explain and give and example

Respuesta :

Keep Change Flip

for example, lets use (-7) - (-8)


Keep the first symbol (-7) - (-8)

Change the next symbol (-7) + (-8)

Flip the last symbol (-7) + (+8)

Since 8 is larger than 7, subtract 7 from 8 ( it equals 1)

Keep the symbol of the the larger number (+)

the answer is +1


Now, the answer will be greater than.
