    The negative of the sum of C and D is equal to the difference of the negative of C and D

    The negative of the sum of C and D means -1 times the sum of C and D
    -(C + D)

    Distribute the negative sign:
    -C - D

    the difference of the negative of C and D means we subtract D from negative C
    -C - D

    So this statement is true since -C - D = -C - D
