Answer 1

To find \(-2445 - 6710\), we can use the additive inverse.

The additive inverse is the opposite of a number. In this case, we will convert the subtraction into addition by adding the additive inverse of \(6710\).

So we have:

\[ -2445 - 6710 = -2445 + (-6710). \]

Now we will perform the addition:

\[ -2445 + (-6710) = -2445 - 6710. \]

Now let's add the absolute values:

\[ 2445 + 6710 = 9155. \]

Thus, the result will be:

\[ -9155. \]

However, let's check the responses you provided:

1. \(-18110\)
2. \(-31110\)
3. \(3112\)
4. \(-3112\)

None of these options seem to match the calculated result of \(-9155\).

It seems there might be a misunderstanding, or perhaps there was a mistake with the options presented.

Please double-check your question and the various options provided.
