You can use CTRL + minus sign on numeric keypad.

Alternatively, if you are using Microsoft Equation, you could simply
press "-" (hyphen) on your keyboard.

Note that Ctrl+Num- will insert an en dash. This is better than a hyphen for
indicating subtraction, but if you want to be strictly correct, the minus
sign is glyph 2212. The difference is that the minus sign is nonbreaking
(the en dash is not). While this won't matter in equations, it could be very
important in negative numbers near the end of a line.
