The answer to 41-44

My love is sharmilla to sylieman cousin 
 

Andrew M.

When doing addition/subtraction with opposite signs:
 
1.  Subtract the smaller number from the larger number
     44-41=3
 
2.  Give the answer the same sign as the larger number
     -3
 
41-44 = -3
 
example:
9-7 = 2
Larger number, 9, is positive so answer is positive
 
 
2-9 = ?
9-2 = 7
larger number, -9, is negative so answer is -7

Andrew, not to be nit-picky, just accurate, but these numbers do not have opposite signs.  Both 41 and 44 are positive numbers.  I think this point should be clarified to avoid confusion.
