Question

Subtract : 4 from -2

Answer 1

Here, we need to subtract -2 from 4.

Thus, we obtain the expression:
= 4 – (-2)

A minus sign outside the brackets denotes that we need to multiply -1 with the terms inside the bracket.

So, simplofying -(-2), we obtain -1 × -2 = 2

Thus, the simplifed expression obtained = 4 + 2 = 6
