When subtracting a negative, you can just add the absolute value of the negative you are subtracting from the other. Two negatives make a positive, and since you are subtracting (negative) a negative (two negatives), you are simply adding.

 

 1-(-1) turns into...

 

1+1

 

I think you can figure the rest out! wink
