Pasan first mentions we must add the constraint of a -50.0. (and that code magically appears on the video)
But then he makes it a positive 50.0 and it works fine.
Then why mention it has to be -50.0?

if you apply: label.trailing = superview.trailling margin - 100 then the constant have to be -100, if you apply: superview.trailling margin = label.trailing + 100 then the constant have to be +100
to test it you can select a constraint in the "Document outline" and in the "size inspector" go to first item and select the option "Reverse First and second Item", once you did you will have to change the +100 to a -100
