To solve the given subtraction problems, let's break down each one step by step.
1. First problem:
[tex]\[
-3 - 3
\][/tex]
- Start with the number [tex]\(-3\)[/tex].
- Subtract [tex]\(3\)[/tex] from [tex]\(-3\)[/tex].
The result is:
[tex]\[
-6
\][/tex]
2. Second problem:
[tex]\[
2 - 7
\][/tex]
- Start with the number [tex]\(2\)[/tex].
- Subtract [tex]\(7\)[/tex] from [tex]\(2\)[/tex]. This means you subtract a greater number from a smaller one, resulting in a negative value.
The result is:
[tex]\[
-5
\][/tex]
So the final answers are:
[tex]\[
\begin{array}{c}
-3 - 3 = -6 \\
2 - 7 = -5
\end{array}
\][/tex]
