For this case we must find the value of the following expression:


-112.84-54.14 - (- 29.18) =

The law of the signs of multiplication states that:


- * - = +\\-112.84-54.14 + 29.18 =

We add similar terms, taking into account that equal signs are added and the same sign is placed, while different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed.


-166.98 + 29.18 = -137.8

Answer:

-137.8
