SOLUTION

To answer this question, let us first understand some rules that guide operations as this:

[tex]\begin{gathered} -\times-=+ \\ -\times+=- \\ +\times+=+ \\ +\times-=- \end{gathered}[/tex]

So going back to treat this question:

[tex]-4-(-2)[/tex]

Re-writing this subtraction as an ADDITION of signed numbers, we will have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} -4-(-2) \\ =-4+2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now to complete this problem the final solution will result in:

[tex]\begin{gathered} =-4+2 \\ =-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The final answer is -2
