OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes but this is semantics not math. You have to be clear.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry sir:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

most people assume subtract it from 25 for negative infinity. Other assume since you said 25 you mean subtract 5 until it reaches 0 and that is more common for most folk since they stop at 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
