Answer 3

To solve the expression \(-123.45 - (-234.76)\), we can first rewrite it using the additive inverse:

\[
-123.45 + 234.76
\]

Now let's compute this step by step:

1. Start with \(-123.45\).
2. Add \(234.76\) to it.

To perform the addition:

\[
234.76 - 123.45 = 111.31
\]

Thus, the result of the expression is:

\[
111.31
\]

So the correct answer is:

**111.31**

Answer 4

Yes, that is correct.

To clarify the steps again:

1. You start with the expression \(-123.45 - (-234.76)\).
2. This simplifies to \(-123.45 + 234.76\) because subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding the positive.
3. Then you perform the addition:
\[
234.76 - 123.45 = 111.31
\]

Therefore, the result of the calculation is indeed **111.31**.

Answer 5

To solve the expression \(-2445 - 6710\) using the additive inverse, we can rewrite it as:

\[
-2445 + (-6710)
\]

Now, you add the two negative numbers:

1. **Add the absolute values**:
\[ 2445 + 6710 = 9155 \]

2. Since both numbers are negative, the result is:
\[
-9155
\]

So the final answer is \(-9155\).

Now, let's compare this with the given options:
1. **−31110**
2. **3112**
3. **−18110**
4. **−3112**

None of these options correctly match \(-9155\). It seems there may be a mistake in the choices provided. Would you like me to assist you with anything else related to this calculation?
