Subtracting a positive means to move left. So from -18, you should move left 5 to get to -23.
Numbers less than zero.

Rational number
-280 - 100 = -180 because you do 280 minus 100 and keep the negative sign.
When you already start negative, subtraction of a positive means going even lower. So you actually add up 280 and 100 to get 380 and then remember you are still negative, so -380.
