-719 - 205 = What is the difference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-514

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

\[-719 - 205 =-(719 + 205) =\]

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

a negative number - 205 the number will be an even bigger negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -514 is the rite answer

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

what?!!?! no no no no no n o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-924

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

if it's -719 + 205 yeah. You are NOT adding in this problem. a negative number subtracted by whatever the number is will only make the negative number BIGGER.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

this is how it is. You are $719 dollars in the red, and now you increased your debt by 205 dollars. Therefore, you owe the bank -924 dollars.

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

so -924 is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (usukidoll):
