How is an english double negative like subtracting negative number? - Answers

subtraction is merely adding a negative number, so subtracting a negative number is adding the negative of a negative number. It should be pointed out that while most people find this concept obvious, it was not obvious to ancient mathematicians. In fact, as late as the 1800s, most mathematicians thought that negative numbers were nonsense.
