To solve \( -123.45 - (-234.76) \) using the additive inverse, we first recognize that subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding its positive counterpart. In mathematical terms, this can be written as:
\[ -123.45 - (-234.76) = -123.45 + 234.76 \]
Now, we just need to perform the addition:
\[ 234.76 - 123.45 = 111.31 \]
So, the answer is:
\[ 111.31 \]
Use the additive inverse to find −123.45−(−234.76)
