Question

How do you subtract `-7- 4`?

Answer 1

`-11`

Explanation:

First, understand that during addition; if the biggest number in the equation is negative, the answer would be negative.

The second number is also a negative because it has a subtraction sign before it.
If this makes it easier, you can make the subtraction sign positive (addition sign) and 4 a negative number. The equation would turn out like:

`-7 + -4`

Then, all that is left is adding the two together.
If it is easier, ignore the negative sign.

`7 + 4 = 11`

But always remember to add the negative sign. Don't forget...
