Question

13. Simplify this expression: 19-(-8) - (-14) = ?

Answer 1

41

Explanation:

We must do multiplication before addition or subtraction here.

-(-8) = +8 and -(-14) = +14, and therefore:

19 - (-8) - (-14) becomes 19 + 8 + 14, or 19 + 22, or 41.

Answer 2

19-(-8)-(-14) = 41

Explanation:

First, we have to solve what is in parentheses

by law of signs ( - . - = +)

19 + 8 + 14 = ?

Then, we only have to sum the number to obtain the result

19 + 8 + 14 = 41
