Vitamins are classified as either fat soluble (vitamins A, D, E and K) or water soluble (vitamins B and C). This difference between the two groups is very important. It determines how each vitamin acts within the body.
Rule 3: Subtracting a negative number from a negative numberâwhen you see the subtraction (minus) sign followed by a negative sign, turn the two signs into a plus sign. Thus, instead of subtracting a negative, you are adding a positive.So, â -5 becomes +5, and continue normally with the addition.ou can also think about these problems as addition problemsâyou add the numbers together (5 + 3 = 8) and then, since both numbers have a minus sign in front of them, you would add a negative sign in front of your answer, like this: -8.
A negative number is a number $x$ such that $x+y=0$ for some positive number $y$. In other words, a negative number is an object whose sum with some positive number equals the additive identity. A similar approach can be used to define other mathematical objects: $ 1 x=0$ is an object such that $a+x=a$. $ 2 x=\frac{1}{a}$ is an object such that $xa=1$.
