Question

Solve the following problem: –43 + 17 =
A. 60
B. 26
C. –26
D. –60

Answer 1

Which answer do you think is right?

Is it going to be negative or positive?

Answer 2

1. -26
2.-81
3.17
4.21x-82
5.23
6.-37

Answer 3

-43 + 17 is a very easy problem to solve.
Let's remember the differences about adding or subtracting a positive or negative 17 to this problem.

adding a positive: -43 + 17 = -26
adding a negative: -43 + -17 = -60
if we were subtracting, the problem would turn out like this:
subtracting a positive: -43 - 17 = -60
subtracting a negative -43 - -17 = -26

When doing problems like this, you have to remember the steps so you won't get confused when the problem becomes difficult further on.
