Is there a difference between$ -(1000)$ and $(-1000)$?

Question

Or are they equal? If they aren't, when one you use one and not the other?

Answer 1

it is $-(1000)=-(+1000)=-1000$ since $-(+)=-$ and $-1000=-1000$

Answer 2

They are equal. You could choose to see $-(1000)$ as $-1 \times 1000$, and $(-1000)$ as $1 \times -1000$. But they both turn out to be $-1000$.
