use the additive inverse to find −492.89−(−871.78).

Answer 1

To find the value of (-492.89) - (-871.78), we can use the additive inverse.

The additive inverse of a number is the number that when added to the original number equals zero.

So, the additive inverse of (-871.78) is 871.78.

Now, we can rewrite the expression as (-492.89) + (871.78).

To calculate this, we add the numbers:

-492.89 + 871.78 = 378.89.

Therefore, -492.89 - (-871.78) equals 378.89.
