Consider the expression -13 - (-45.3 + 35.2). It has been simplified below with some values unknown.
The missing value for line 1 is The missing value for line 2 is
Line 1: -33 - (-45.3 + 35.2) = −13 − (?)
Line 2:
= ?

Answer 1

Let's simplify the expression step by step.

Starting with the expression in Line 1:

\[
-13 - (-45.3 + 35.2)
\]

Now, we need to first compute the value of \(-45.3 + 35.2\):

\[
-45.3 + 35.2 = -10.1
\]

So we can substitute that back into the equation in Line 1:

Line 1:
\[
-33 - (-45.3 + 35.2) = -13 - (-10.1)
\]

Now we have:

\[
-13 - (-10.1) = -13 + 10.1
\]

Next, let's calculate \(-13 + 10.1\):

\[
-13 + 10.1 = -2.9
\]

So we can fill in the missing values:

Line 1: The missing value for line 1 is **-10.1** (the value of \(-45.3 + 35.2\)).
Line 2: The missing value for line 2 is **-2.9**.

Final Answers:
Line 1: -10.1
Line 2: -2.9
