my first query: 

mysql> select bank_name, sum(amount) as amount from accounts_bank ab left join bank b on b.bank_id=ab.bank_id where method=0 group by bank_name order by bank_name;

returns: 

+-----------+--------+ 
| bank_name | amount | 
+-----------+--------+ 
| A Bank    |   7000 | 
| B Bank    |  27500 | 
| D Bank    |   8800 |
+-----------+--------+ 
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

my second query: 

mysql> select bank_name, sum(amount) as amount from accounts_bank ab left join bank b on b.bank_id=ab.bank_id where method=1 group by bank_name order by bank_name;

returns: 

+-----------+--------+ 
| bank_name | amount | 
+-----------+--------+ 
| B Bank    |   5000 | 
| C Bank    |  30000 |
+-----------+--------+ 
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Now I want a result like this by simply deducting 2nd result from the 1st one: 

+-----------+--------+ 
| bank_name | amount | 
+-----------+--------+ 
| A Bank    |   7000 | 
| B Bank    |  22500 |
| C Bank    | -30000 | 
| D Bank    |   8800 |
+-----------+--------+

To get this result what mysql query should I run?
