To find the number that, when subtracted from -2.24, equals 4.24, you can set up the equation:
\[
-2.24 - x = 4.24
\]
To solve for \( x \), first, isolate \( x \) by adding \( 2.24 \) to both sides:
\[
-x = 4.24 + 2.24
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-x = 6.48
\]
Now, multiply both sides by -1:
\[
x = -6.48
\]
So, the answer is:
\(-2.24\) minus \(-6.48\) equals \(4.24\).
\[
-2.24 - x = 4.24
\]
To solve for \( x \), first, isolate \( x \) by adding \( 2.24 \) to both sides:
\[
-x = 4.24 + 2.24
\]
This simplifies to:

-x = 6.48
\]
Now, multiply both sides by -1:
\[
x = -6.48
\]
So, the answer is:
\(-2.24\) minus \(-6.48\) equals \(4.24\).
