The difference of two integers is -6. If one of the integers is -2, what is the other integer
--------------
It's either -2 - (-6)
or -2 + (-6)
-----------
Usually difference is a positive number.
A difference of -6 is the same as a difference of +6 unless there are other specs.
----------
And, the common expression "same difference" is meaningless unless the # of objects being discussed is at least 3.
