Copying math problems correctly

OronD: Newbie's question was -11-(-8). In your explanation you incorrectly copied the problem as -11-(8). These are not the same problem, are not worked the same way, and do not have the same answer. If you'll go back and start by copying the problem correctly, I'll bet you get the same explanation that I did. Thanks. Dogtac69

Does it really matter?  Newbie asks dozens of irrelevant questions every day.  He/she is a kook, or a crank, and isn't really interested in getting correct answers.  Newbie simply wants attention.

I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Hi Dogtac,
I'll go back to the answer and if I find I was wrong I'll plead guilty and even appologise. 
Best regards,

Love is the battery of life....

Math problem

I think the answer is zero. If a seven digit # begins with the numbers 1998xxx and if it ends in the same digits xxx1998, that means the digit in the middle would have to be both 8 and 1 at the same time. That does not seem possible to me.
