Question 3 Subtract: 8.7 − (−4.6)(1 point) Responses 4.1 -4.1 -13.3 13.3

Answer 1

To solve the expression \( 8.7 - (-4.6) \), we need to remember that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the positive number.

So, we can rewrite the expression as:

\[
8.7 + 4.6
\]

Now, let's calculate:

\[
8.7 + 4.6 = 13.3
\]

Thus, the answer is \( 13.3 \).
