When you subtract one negative integer from another will your answer be greater than or less than the integer you started with explain your reasoning and give an example

Lets take   (-4) - (-6) 
             = -4 + 6     (here we changed the sign because in integers when you are                                                     subtracting an integer, we put its opposite..thats the rule .)
            =. -4 + 6 = 2

so here we got the answer as 2 this shows that your answer will be less than the integer you started with this is because here in subtraction we will first change the sign and then follow the same rules of addition ...so here if both the numbers have opposite signs then we subtract and put the greater number sign

Hope i am right !!!

You have 2 sides that are 2 cms and you have 6 sides that are 1/2 cm and you have 4 sides that are 1 cm. the smallest sides are 1/2 the medium sized sides are 1 and the smallest are 1/2. so to find the perimeter you have to add them all up together so your answer will be 11 cm's
