-11.0 - 3.5
Need to solve by steps

-14.5

What I did was Subtract 3.5 from -11.

When you add them together, you get 14.5, but 14.5 isn't correct, as that's a very large number compared to -11.

-14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-11 - 3.5

Because 11 is already negative, when you subtract a number from a negative, think of -11 becoming "smaller" (smaller being -14, or -25).

When doing -11 - 3.5, think if it as adding 11 and 3.5 together !

When you add them together, you get 14.5, but 14.5 isn't correct, as that's a very large number compared to -11.

You add a negative sign to said -14.5, and that's your answer !

Subtracting from a negative is confusing, so I taught myself to think of it as adding the numbers as if they were positive and adding a negative sign !
