What is this:

The sum p (q) is the number located a distance |q| from p in the negative direction.

Apologies for the confusion earlier. The correct answer is p - q. The sum p + (-q) is equivalent to p - q, as adding the negative of a number is the same as subtracting that number. Thank you for pointing out the error.

In your answer, you can write p - q as the number located a distance |q| from p in the negative direction.
