4 - 15 =
Explanation
When you subtract a larger number from a smaller one, the result is negative. For example, in the equation 4 - 15, since 15 is greater than 4, subtracting 15 from 4 gives you -11. This is because you're taking away more than you have, resulting in a negative value. So, 4 - 15 = -11.Rate this question:

25 - (-23) =
Explanation
To solve 25 - (-23), you need to understand that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number. So, 25 - (-23) becomes 25 + 23. When you add 25 and 23, you get 48. Therefore, 25 - (-23) = 48. This is because subtracting a negative is like removing a negative, which results in a positive addition.Rate this question:
