Answer 3

If so, when you're subtracting from a negative number, think of it as just going further down the number line, so:



Another way to think of it is that when you subtract, it can also be written as plus a negative number:

So basically you're just adding these two 'negative' numbers together. Do their fractions first to see if they make a whole, then do their whole numbers.
