What is the difference between the integers –11 and –3?

Answer 1

To find the difference between the integers -11 and -3, you can subtract -3 from -11. The formula for finding the difference is:

\[ \text{Difference} = \text{First Integer} - \text{Second Integer} = -11 - (-3) \]

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart:

\[ -11 - (-3) = -11 + 3 = -8 \]

Therefore, the difference between -11 and -3 is -8.
