Find ΔG for CaCO3(s) => CaO(s) + CO2 (g)

Given the following data,

Ca(s) + CO2(g) + ½ O2(g) => CaCO3(s) ΔGo = -730

2 Ca(s) + O2(g) => 2 CaO(s) ΔGo = -1,200

Find ΔGo for CaCO3(s) => CaO(s) + CO2 (g)


I got the 130 as the answer but the correct answer is -130.

Can you explain why it is a negative answer
