Is 873,954 − –31,945 positive or negative?

Answer 1

To determine whether \( 873,954 - (-31,945) \) is positive or negative, we first simplify the expression.

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart. Thus:

\[ 873,954 - (-31,945) = 873,954 + 31,945 \]

Now, we can add \( 873,954 \) and \( 31,945 \):

\[ 873,954 + 31,945 = 905,899 \]

Since \( 905,899 \) is a positive number, the result of the original expression \( 873,954 - (-31,945) \) is positive.

Therefore, the answer is positive.
