Final answer:
Subtracting 60 from 25 results in -35, indicating that if you owe 60 but have only 25, you are 35 short.
Explanation:
When you subtract 60 from 25, you get a negative result because 60 is larger than 25. Performing the subtraction 25 - 60 gives us -35. This is because if we have 25 of something and we owe 60, we still need to give away 35 more to settle that debt.
In other terms, if we consider a number line, starting at 25 and moving 60 places to the left (as subtraction implies moving to the left), we end up at -35. This can also be viewed in terms of loss or a decrease in some quantity by 60 when we only have 25, hence a negative balance of -35.
