Step-by-step explanation:
When we have a positive number and a negative number, let's imagine it with a number line.
<-----------0----------->
If we have the positive number 1:
<-----------0--1-------->
And we want to subtract 1 from it, the number would move to the left
1 - 1 = 0
<-----------0----------->
However, if we were to subtract a negative number, they are opposites. It can't move to the left because that's what a positive number does. The only other way to go: right.
1 + -1 = 2
<-----------0--1--2----->
Hope this helped!
