A larger number can be subtracted from a smaller number.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Subtracting a larger number from a smaller number will result in a negative answer-since we are taking away more than we started with. One way to remember this is to think of money: if you try to spend more than you have, you end up with a negative amount of money (meaning you owe more money).

Detailed explanation-2: -When subtracting a larger number from a smaller number, remember the words switch and negate. That is, switch the order of the two numbers and do the subtraction as you normally would, but at the end negate the result by attaching a minus sign.

Detailed explanation-3: -When subtracting, the larger number always goes first.
