Here is a very good video by Alphonso Gracia-Saz to prove that infinity minus infinity cannot be determined.

\infty - \infty \neq \infty


The best way to solve when you get an \infty - \infty is we try to rewrite it and manipulate it algebraically as shown below

Infinity  - Infinity = indeterminate 

\infty - \infty =  indeterminate 


Example

Case 1:

= \lim_{x \to \infty} (2x -x)

= \lim_{x \to \infty} (2x) - \lim_{x \to \infty} (x)

= \infty - \infty   

= + \infty   


Case 2:

= \lim_{x \to \infty} (x - 2x)

= \lim_{x \to \infty} (x) - \lim_{x \to \infty} (2x)

= \infty - \infty

= - \infty


Case 3:

= \lim_{x \to \infty} (x - x)

= \infty - \infty

= 0


Hence, we can conclude that   \infty - \infty =  indeterminate. Because we have different responses ( + \infty,-\infty, \text{ and } 0 ) in each case, we are unable to figure out that this is the exact answer.
