Subtracting a negative number follows the same process as a positive number

This would be true!

When you subtract a positive number, it goes to the left of the number line. When you subtract a negative number, it goes to the left of the number line.

The thing that confuses most people is that the first number (when negative) continues to increase as a negative. It follows the same process, just different signs.

I hope this helps!
