Question

Subtract −6−(−8).

Answer 1

Subtract 17−(−18).

Answer 2

To subtract −6−(−8), we can use the rule that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number. So, −6−(−8) can be rewritten as −6+8. And adding -6 and 8 gives us 8−6=2. Therefore, −6−(−8) = 2.

Answer 3

To subtract 17−(−18), we can again use the rule that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number. So, 17−(−18) can be rewritten as 17+18. Adding 17 and 18 gives us 35. Therefore, 17−(−18) = 35.
