Since we have two negative numbers substracting, we can just add them both and in the end we will put a - in front of the result to have our correct answer.

So: -15.93-10.05 = -(15.93+10.05)

Lets add the decimals first.

0.93+.0.5=0.98

Lets add the full numbers now.

15+10=25

The result will be equal to the sum of these two sums that we got.

25+0.98=25.98

Since we had two negative numbers substracting, this result will be this number but with a - in front of it.

So: -15.93-10.05 = -(15.93+10.05) = -25.89
