Question

Solve the following mentioned question

$(-7)-(-5)$

Answer 1

$(-7)-(-5)=(-7)+5$ (since, we have, $-(-a)=+a$)

$=-2$ (When we have one positive and one negative integer, then we subtract them and put the sign whose value is greater.)

Hence, the value of $\mathbf{(}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{7}\mathbf{)}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{(}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{5}\mathbf{)}\mathbf{}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{2}$.
