jaynator495 (jaynator495):

-10 minus -6 is not -16... ._. see when you subtract a negative against a negative, it becomes a addition problem, meaning its -10 + 6, rather then -10-(-6)

jaynator495 (jaynator495):

since you are adding a positive number technically to a number below zero, -10 goes down 6, meaning its 10-6, then you just have to remember to put the negative sign in front

OpenStudy (anonymous):
