subtract.
6 - (-4) =
26 - 36 =

Explanation:

Step1: Apply the rule of subtracting a negative number

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart. So $6-(-4)=6 + 4$.
$6+4 = 10$

Step2: Perform simple subtraction

For $26-36$, we have a smaller number minus a larger number. We can rewrite it as $-(36 - 26)$.
$36-26 = 10$, so $26-36=-10$

Answer:

1. $6-(-4)=10$
2. $26 - 36=-10$
