1 answer

To find \(-123.45 - (-234.76)\), we can use the additive inverse.

The expression can be rewritten as:

\[ -123.45 + 234.76 \]

Now, we perform the addition:

\[ 234.76 - 123.45 \]

Calculating that:

  1. Align the numbers:

    \[ 234.76 -123.45 \]

  2. Subtract:

    Starting from the rightmost digits:

    • 6 - 5 = 1
    • 7 - 4 = 3
    • 4 - 3 = 1
    • 2 - 1 = 1
    • 0 (from 2 - 1) and 2 - 0 = 2 (we have borrowed nothing beyond this point)

Putting it all together, we get:

\[ 234.76 - 123.45 = 111.31 \]

So, the answer is:

\[ \boxed{111.31} \]
