Infinity is not a number. So, you cannot add or subtract it. The quantity you refer to as infinity is more likely an expression that grows larger than any number you can provide. We refer to it as getting arbitrarily big by using the terms infinity and -infinity rather than as a number. Negative infinity means that it gets arbitrarily smaller than any number you can give. so 1 - infinity = -infinity and 1 + infinity = + infinity makes sense only when looked as in this sense. Addition and subtraction are operations that are only defined for real numbers (or some other algebraic structure) and infinity is not a real number.
