Mathematics is flawed, no such thing as real negative number

Take this simple equation: 5 - 10 = -5
WTF is a -5 ?
Math is fundamentally based on counting.
For the above equation we can say, you have five apples and you take away 10 apples. This is invalid because you create additional five apples that are nonexistent.
The Arabs got it all wrong!
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31047157 'Math' is an imaginary activity that takes place inside the conceptual world, the fact is that your whole life takes place inside your mind. It is a world with it's own rules and (non spatial) dimensions and exists whether the physical world exists or not. It can be used to model certain aspect of the physical world, such as the presence or absence of apples, how fast they fall under gravity etc. But it is always entirely separate from the physical world - an image of an apple in your mind is not and never will be a physical apple.
