Use the additive inverse to find −1223−(−856) . Write the answer as a mixed number.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find \(-1223 - (-856)\) using the additive inverse, we can first rewrite the expression:

\[ -1223 - (-856) = -1223 + 856 \]

Now, we can simplify by performing the addition:

1. First, convert both numbers to their absolute values and then subtract: \[ 1223 - 856 = 367 \]
2. Since \( -1223 \) is larger in absolute value, the result will be negative: \[ -1223 + 856 = -367 \]

Therefore, the final result is \( -367 \).

To express this as a mixed number, we note that \( -367 \) is an improper fraction as a mixed number, would simply be \( -367\) since it is a whole number.

Thus, the answer is:

\[ \boxed{-367} \]
