1 answer

To determine if \( 82,733 - (-708) \) is positive or negative, first simplify the expression:

\[ 82,733 - (-708) = 82,733 + 708 \]

Now, add the two numbers together:

\[ 82,733 + 708 = 83,441 \]

Since \( 83,441 \) is greater than zero, the final result is positive. Therefore, \( 82,733 - (-708) \) is positive.
