In the following examples, we convert the subtracted number to its opposite, and add the two numbers.
7 - 4.4 = 7 + (-4.4) = 2.6
22.7 - (-5) = 22.7 + (5) = 27.7
-8.9 - 1.7 = -8.9 + (-1.7) = -10.6
-6 - (-100.6) = -6 + (100.6) = 94.6
Note that the result of subtracting two numbers can be positive or negative, or 0.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
Douglas Adams

I really didn't foresee the Internet. But then, neither did the computer industry. Not that that tells us very much of course - the computer industry didn't even foresee that the century was going to end.

Douglas Noël Adams (11 March 1952 – 11 May 2001) was an English author,
comic radio dramatist, and musician. He is best known as the author of the
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Hitchhiker's began on radio, and
developed into a "trilogy" of five books (which sold more than fifteen
million copies during his lifetime) as well as a television series, a comic
book series, a computer game, and a feature film that was completed after
Adams' death. The series has also been adapted for
live theatre using various scripts; the earliest such productions used
material newly written by Adams. He was known to some fans as Bop Ad
(after his illegible signature), or by his initials 'DNA'; he was born the
year before the elucidation of the structure of "the meaning of life " or
D.N.A. by Francis Crick and James Watson in Cambridge i.e. where he was
bornAdams died of a heart attack at the age of 49 on 11 May 2001, during
the rest period of his regular workout at a private gym in Montecito,
California. He had unknowingly suffered a gradual narrowing of the coronary
arteries, which led at that moment to a myocardial infarction and a fatal
cardiac arrhythmia. Adams had been due to deliver the commencement address
at Harvey Mudd College on 13 May. His funeral was held on 16 May 2001
in Santa Barbara, California. Several friends and people he had worked with
were in attendance. His ashes were placed in Highgate Cemetery in north
London in June 2002

He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive
incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.
Douglas Adams

He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there
was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an
afterlife.
Douglas Adams

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people
very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
Douglas Adams

You live and learn. At any rate, you live.
Douglas Adams

He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes
wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.
Douglas Adams,

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly
big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the
chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
Douglas Adams
