To find the result of subtracting a negative number, we can use the additive inverse.
The additive inverse of any number is simply the negative value of that number. For example, the additive inverse of 5 is -5.
To find -492.89 - (-871.78), we can rewrite it as -492.89 + 871.78.
Then, we can use the additive inverse of -871.78, which is positive 871.78.
Therefore, -492.89 - (-871.78) = -492.89 + 871.78 = 378.89.
