Hey @logan13 , when you subtract a negative from a positive, there are two negatives acting with each other

Therefore, you could effectively turn this into an addition problem. Make sense?

k_lynn · Answer

Subtracting a negative from a positive means that you can change the problem.  If you change something in the problem, say that subtraction mark to an addition mark, you have to do the same thing to the negative sign in -17.  

But Jamie is explaining really well.
