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.

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
