Can u subtract negatives

Yes you can subtract a negative number, here is an example:

If you are going to subtract two negatives, make sure you put parenthesis on it:

-15 - (-7)

Then you turn it into a positive:

-15 + 7

Your answer for it should be:

= - 8

So yes, you can subtract negatives.

Best of luck mate~ Sans
