Solve: Subtracting (-0.97) from (+3.34) with Decimal Numbers

Let's remember the rule:

$-(+x)=-x$

Now let's write the exercise in the appropriate form:

$-0.97-3.34=$

Since we are subtracting a smaller number from a larger number, the result will necessarily be negative.

We'll connect the two numbers but won't forget that the final result is with a minus sign:

$0.97\\+3.34\\4.31$

In other words:

$-0.97-3.34=-4.31$
