Answer 1

To find \(-123.45 - (-234.76)\), we can use the additive inverse concept. The additive inverse of \(-234.76\) is \(+234.76\). So we can rewrite the expression as:

\[ -123.45 + 234.76 \]

Now, we can perform the addition:

\[ 234.76 - 123.45 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ 234.76 - 123.45 = 111.31 \]

Therefore, the answer is:

\[ \text{111.31} \]
