Subtract Integers

The result is a more negative integer. For example, -4 - 6 = -10.

Subtracting a negative integer is the same as adding its absolute value. For example, 7 - (-1) = 7 + 1 = 8.

The result is a positive integer. For example, 9 - 3 = 6.

The result increases. For example, 1 - (-9) = 1 + 9 = 10.

The result is zero. For example, -11 - (-11) = 0.

An integer is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero.

To subtract an integer, add its opposite. For example, a - b = a + (-b).

Start at the first integer and move left for positive integers and right for negative integers.

The result is the integer itself. For example, 5 - 0 = 5.

The result is a negative integer. For example, 0 - 3 = -3.
