I'll solve each subtraction problem step by step, working through the calculations carefully.
Problem 1: (-13) - (-5)
When subtracting a negative number, it becomes addition: -13 + 5 = -8
Problem 2: (-9) - 16
Subtracting a positive from a negative: -9 - 16 = -25
Problem 3: 7 - (-11)
When subtracting a negative number, it becomes addition: 7 + 11 = 18
Problem 4: 20 - 3
Simple subtraction: 20 - 3 = 17
Problem 5: (-18) - 14
Subtracting a positive from a negative: -18 - 14 = -32
Problem 6: (-10) - (-10)
When subtracting a negative number, it becomes addition: -10 + 10 = 0
Problem 7: 15 - 2
Simple subtraction: 15 - 2 = 13
Problem 8: 8 - (-12)
When subtracting a negative number, it becomes addition: 8 + 12 = 20
Problem 9: (-20) - 9
Subtracting a positive from a negative: -20 - 9 = -29
Problem 10: 17 - 6
Simple subtraction: 17 - 6 = 11
