Answer 5

@DIDITHEDAD ... two negatives don't make a positive unless you are multiplying.
but we're subtracting. So we are just subtracting two numbers.
SO to work it out:
–3.62 – 4.7
= - ( 3.62 + 4.7)

So let's work out what's inside the brackets. "( 3.62 + 4.7) " = 8.32

Now we know from earlier that
–3.62 – 4.7
= - ( 3.62 + 4.7)
= - (8.32)
= -8.32
