Subtracting Integers, YEAH

Subtracting Integers
Anian here. Subtracting Integers? Oh.
1. This could start in different ways, either (-N) - (-N) , (+N) - (+N) , (-N) - (+N) or (+N) - (-N).
N=any number
Examples: (-5) - (-2) , (+6) - (+4), (+5) - (-4) and (-9) - (+7).
2. Now let's really start now,

(-5) - (-2) = (-3)
- - - (- -)->
(-3)
This is pretty much the math that we are all use to. How do I know? Well, notice the negative sign/symbols, they're the same. Here is a tip: if you want you can ignore the symbols completely, then afterwards put back the symbols. This only works if both integer have similar symbols.

(+6) - (+4) =  (+2)

+ + (+ + + +) ->
(+2)
Almost the same as before, the only difference is that this is positive. The one before was negative.
NEXT!

3. Now things get interesting,

(+5) - (-4) =

+ + + + + Wait, how do you take away (-4) out of (+5)? Zero pairs! I'll show you.

+ + + + + + + + +
 (+9)       ( -  -  -  - )->

By adding  a few zero pairs, doesn't change the integer. Now you can take the negative or positive. If you add any extra won't make any difference as I said before, zero pairs doesn't change the integer.

(-9) - (+7) =

-  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -
(-16)                   ( + + + + + + + )->

Same as before, except vice versa. Just read the one before.
Very AWESOME AMZING TIP:
Take a look at (-9) - (+7). Now look at (-9) + (-7). If you notice, they both equal (-16). Here is the tip, do the opposite or make them the same symbol, then the opposite of the equation symbol, that is either plus or minus.


Now, I hope that I helped. And thank you for  taking a few minutes on reading this. Subtracting Integers, COMPLETED!
