Answer 2

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:
