Understand the Problem

The question appears to present a mathematical problem involving subtraction. It features two equations with numbers involved, likely requiring computation to solve.

Answer

For the first equation: $-14$, and for the second equation: $-4$.
Answer for screen readers

The results are:

For the first equation: $-14$

For the second equation: $-4$.

Steps to Solve

  1. First Equation Calculation: 30 - 44

To solve the first equation, subtract 44 from 30. Since 30 is less than 44, the result will be negative.

[ 30 - 44 = -14 ]

  1. Second Equation Calculation: 40 - 44

Next, solve the second equation by subtracting 44 from 40. Again, since 40 is less than 44, the result will also be negative.

[ 40 - 44 = -4 ]

  1. Summarize Results

Now, summarize the results of the two calculations:

  • The result of the first equation is $-14$.
  • The result of the second equation is $-4$.

The results are:

For the first equation: $-14$

For the second equation: $-4$.

More Information

Both equations involve subtraction where the minuend (the number from which another is subtracted) is smaller than the subtrahend (the number being subtracted). This results in negative values.

Tips

  • Forgetting to account for negative results can lead to misinterpretation of answers. Always remember that subtracting a larger number from a smaller one will yield a negative result.
  • Confusing the order of operations, though simple subtraction is straightforward, double-check the arrangement of numbers.
