Hello there!

When subtracting a positive number from a negative, you're doing the same as adding two positive numbers, but flipping the value.

For example;

-2 - 2 = -4
2 + 2 = 4

If this doesn't help you, please message me or comment below and I will do my best to explain to you how it works. Thanks!
