Question

Evaluate the expression for c = –20.1 and d = –23.6.

Write your answer as a decimal or whole number.

c − d =

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \( c - d \) where \( c = -20.1 \) and \( d = -23.6 \), we can substitute the values into the expression:

\[
c - d = -20.1 - (-23.6)
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
-20.1 + 23.6
\]

Now, we can perform the addition:

\[
-20.1 + 23.6 = 3.5
\]

Therefore, the final answer is:

\[
\boxed{3.5}
\]
