What is happening in the previous 2 questions? Why do you think that happened?

Why did we add when it says to subtract?

When subtracting you are taking that number and its value away from the Minuend (the first number).

Real purpose of subtracting

• When you subtract a positive from a negative you are making it more negative

• i.e. -3-5=8

• When you subtract a negative from a positive you are making it more positive

• i.e. 15-(-13)=28
