okay heres a little hint...
when you add negitives...you are only going to get a smaller number right? (hopefully you understand that much)
when you are adding negitives...you just add them like adding anyother numbers...and then put a negitive sign in front of it (-)...
when you SUBTRACT negitives...
well this is a little jingle that will help...
its (kcC)= keep change change.
that means...for example...
-12 - -4 = x
keep the -12 as it is. = KEEP
change the subtraction sybol to a addition symbol = CHANGE
and change the NEGITIVE 4 to a POSTITIVE 4 = CHANGE
then it all works out.
soo...it comes to....
-12 - -4 =x
to...
-12 + 4 = x
to....
-12 + 4 = -8
and you know its a negitive because the negitive number (12) is larger than the postitive number (4)
well, i hope yo uunderstand. its kind of hard to exsplain on computer. but i will help even more if you dont understand. =) get back to me wither way =) good luck. much love, erica

negative+negative you add to get a negative answer.... negative plus positive you subtract... lets say it's -4 + 8 the answer would be +4 because highest number (8) is a positive get ... and if it was 4 + (-8) it would be -4 because the highest (8) is a negatice... get it? if not just let me no and i'll help you as much as possible :-)
