Let’s solve each problem step by step. Remember: subtracting a negative is like adding, and subtracting a positive is just regular subtraction.
We’ll go one by one:
1) (+3) - (+1) = 3 - 1 =
2
2) (+7) - (+1) = 7 - 1 =
6
3) (-6) - (-5) = -6 + 5 =
-1
*(Subtracting a negative becomes addition)*
4) (-8) - (+4) = -8 - 4 =
-12
5) (+1) - (-7) = 1 + 7 =
8
6) (-8) - (-5) = -8 + 5 =
-3
7) (-6) - (-5) = -6 + 5 =
-1 *(same as #3)*
8) (+5) - (-3) = 5 + 3 =
8
9) (+1) - (+9) = 1 - 9 =
-8
10) (+9) - (-6) = 9 + 6 =
15
11) (+7) - (+8) = 7 - 8 =
-1
12) (+7) - (-6) = 7 + 6 =
13
13) (-7) - (-6) = -7 + 6 =
-1
14) (-5) - (+3) = -5 - 3 =
-8
15) (-7) - (+1) = -7 - 1 =
-8
16) (-6) - (+7) = -6 - 7 =
-13
All answers checked carefully.
