oh
OpenStudy (bishoppatton):
Negative - Positive = Negative
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh ok
OpenStudy (bishoppatton):
Positive - Negative = Positive
9 - -6 = 15
OpenStudy (bishoppatton):
So subtracting negative from positive is kinda like doing addition with that -6 and turning it into a positive 6 so all you do is add 9 + 6 = 15
