To determine whether \(-73 - (-8)\) is positive or negative, we can simplify the expression.
First, subtracting a negative is equivalent to adding a positive:
\[
-73 - (-8) = -73 + 8
\]
Now, perform the addition:
\[
-73 + 8 = -65
\]
Since \(-65\) is less than zero, it is negative. Thus, \(-73 - (-8)\) is negative.
