To find the value of −123.45 − (−234.76) using the additive inverse, we can rewrite the expression as −123.45 + 234.76.
The additive inverse of a number is its opposite. For example, the additive inverse of 5 is -5. When we add a number and its additive inverse, we get 0.
So, in this case, we can rewrite the expression as −123.45 + 234.76 = 111.31.
