Editing Negative number (section)

===As the result of subtraction===
Negative numbers can be thought of as resulting from the [[subtraction]] of a larger number from a smaller. For example, negative three is the result of subtracting three from zero:
{{block indent | em = 1.5 | text = {{math|1= 0 − 3  =  −3.}} }}
In general, the subtraction of a larger number from a smaller yields a negative result, with the magnitude of the result being the difference between the two numbers. For example,
{{block indent | em = 1.5 | text = {{math|1= 5 − 8  =  −3}} }}
since {{math|1=8 − 5 = 3}}.
