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
