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
