When subtracting decimals with the same sign, you follow these steps:
1. line up the decimals.
2. Subtract the numbers as you would with whole numbers.
3. Keep the sign of the larger absolute value.
For example, let's subtract -2.3 from -7.1:
-7.1
- (-2.3)
---------
-4.8
So, -7.1 minus -2.3 equals -4.8.
