Answer 3

To find the additive inverse of a number, you need to change its sign from positive to negative or vice versa. In this case, the additive inverse of 26.54 is -26.54.

To solve 8.76 - 26.54 using the additive inverse, you can rewrite the subtraction as addition with the additive inverse:

8.76 + (-26.54)

Now, you can simply add the numbers:

8.76 + (-26.54) = -17.78

So, 8.76 - 26.54 is equal to -17.78.

Answer 4

To find the additive inverse of a number, you need to change its sign from positive to negative or from negative to positive. In this case, the additive inverse of -856 is 856.

To solve -1223 - (-856) using additive inverse, you can rewrite the subtraction as addition with the additive inverse:

-1223 + 856

Now, you can simply add the numbers:

-1223 + 856 = -367

So, -1223 - (-856) is equal to -367.

To express the answer as a mixed number, you have a whole number part (-367) and a fractional part (0). Therefore, the answer can be written as -367 0/1, which is just -367.

Answer 5

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct the solution.

To find the additive inverse of -856, we simply change the sign to positive, which gives us 856.

Now, we can solve -1223 - (-856) using additive inverse:

-1223 - (-856)

Since subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive, we can rewrite the expression as:

-1223 + 856

Now, we can simply add the numbers:

-1223 + 856 = -367

So, -1223 - (-856) is equal to -367.

To express the answer as a mixed number, we have -367. Since there is no fractional part, it remains as -367.
