North/south and negative/positive have nothing to do with each other.

What makes north end of a magnet a negative charge?

The north end of a magnet is not a negative charge; rather, it is simply labeled as the north pole based on convention. In reality, the north pole of a magnet is considered to have a north-seeking magnetic field, which means it is attracted to the Earth's geographic north pole.

Is a positive number minus a negative number equal to a negative number?

No it is a positive number, because there are two negative signs you cancel them. For example: 9-(-4)=13 Since there is a parenthesis between both signs (parenthesis means to multiply) you multiply. Negative X Negative = Positive; then the -4 becomes positive and finally you just add. Very complex isn't it. Think about it like this. Say you're in a car on a North-South road. North is positive, and South is negative. If you're a positive number, then point your car North, if a negative, point your car South. Now if you are to be added, then drive forward, and if you are to be subtracted, then put in reverse and drive backward. So in the above example, start at 9 miles North of a reference point (mile zero). Then you are negative 4, so point the car South, but since you are subtracting, drive in reverse for 4 miles (you will be moving toward the North, which is in the positive direction), and arrive 13 miles North of the reference point (positive 13). Hope this helps.

Is the north pole a negative charge?

Magnets are said to have a "north pole" and a "south pole". Traditionally, the north pole of a magnet is the side that would be attracted toward the North Pole of the Earth in a compass. Since opposite magnetic poles attract, the Earth's "Magnetic North Pole" is physically a magnetic south pole.To answer the question... No, the north pole is not a negative charge. We speak of north and south poles in magnetism. We speak of positive and negative charges in electrostatics.
