-2317 - (-5294)
you must make subtraction addition and then change the second number to its opposite. in this case, the opposite would be a positive number.
Since we are adding a negative and positive and the positive is a larger number, (if you find the absolute value of -2317) you would subtract these two.
This would give you: 2977.
you determine whether it’s positive or negative by looking at the largest absolute value of the number and taking that sign.
the largest absolute value is 5294 and right now they have a positive sign so you’d leave the number as is.
your answer being:
2977
