    The negative symbol is a part of the number itself, you write it like you would in any other language:

    (define (math x)
    ( = ( - ( / -12 x) 2) 4))
    

    Output:

    > (math 2)  ; 2-(-12/2) = -4 -> 2-(-6) = -4 -> 2 + 6 = -4 -> 8 = -4 (FALSE)
    #f
    > (math -2) ; 2-(-12/-2) = -4 -> 2-(6) = -4 -> -4 = -4 (TRUE)
    #t
