Remember: minus a minus is a plus:

$7 - (- 4) \Rightarrow 7 + 4 = 11$ $7 - (-4) => 7 + 4 = 11$

$11$ $11$

Think of this rule:

$The enemy of your enemy is your friend$ $"The enemy of your enemy is your friend"$

That negative person is your enemy.

In $7 - (- 4)$ $7-(-4)$ , the enemy or enemy becomes your friend.

$7 + 4 = 11$ $7+4=11$ That is our answer!
