Well, in order to solve this problem, you need to solve -17 + 3 This equals -14. So, one of the answers, when worked, will have to equal -14.
We'll start with your answer of A to see if it equal -14 when worked out.
-(17 + 3) =
Now distribute by making the minus sign into -1, which is the same thing.
-1(17 + 3) =
-17 - 3 =
Then, subtract it. Here's what is equals.
-17 - 3 = -20
So, the answer is not A for this problem.
Next, we'll try B to see if it equals 14 when worked out.
-(17 - 3) =
Now distribute by making the minus sign into -1, which is again, the same thing.
-17 + 3 =
Now, solve the rest by adding:
-17 + 3 = -14
So, B is the final, correct answer for your problem. I hope all of this will help you! :)
