what you would do if you had any equation where you subtract a negative is that you would add a line and change the sign. what i mean by that is you would add a line to the subtraction sign and make it an adding sign and you would add a line to the negative sign and make it a positive sign. so in your case you would have the equation: -4 + 6= 2.
