advice

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!

okay... this is a sinch.

-(-10)=10
so
-20+10=10-20
10-20=-10

-35-16=35+16 in the negative direction.. so it would be -51

-6-(-2)=-6+2
=-4
