I am so confused with math. We're doing addition and subtraction of positive and negative integers. Can anyone please answer the following problems and explain how you got that answer? I rate high!

-20 - (-10) =

-35 - 16 =

There's also a sort of word problem one too. Tell me what the math sentence would be and the sum.

Start at -6. Face the negative direction. Move backward 2 units.


Please help!

-20-(-10)= -10
-35-16= -51

Basically with negatives if its a negative minus a positive then you add more to the negitive number. such as #2^^ And if its a negative or positive minus another negative, then it changes to a plus sign. So you just add them...like #1^^ It's weird at frist but once you figure it out its uber easy. Let me know if thats confusing and I'll see if i can explain better.
