Question

Use additive inverses and their properties to find the equivalent expressions.

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\large\text{Equation on the LEFT side:}`

`\large\textsf{3 - 5}`

`\large\textsf{= -2}`

`\large\text{Equation on the RIGHT side:}`

`\mathsf{5 - 3}`

`\large\textsf{= 2}`

`\large\text{Simplify each of your equations}\downarrow`

`\large\textbf{E}quation\ \large\textsf{\#1.}`

`\large\textsf{3 + (-5)}`

`\large\textsf{= 3 - 5}`

`\large\textsf{= -2}`

`\large\textbf{E}quation\ \large\textsf{\#2.}`

`\large\textsf{5 + (-3)}`

`\large\textsf{= 5 - 3}`

`\large\textsf{= 2}`

`\large\textbf{E}quation\ \large\textsf{\#3.}`

`\large\textsf{-5 + 3}`

`\large\textsf{= -2}`

`\large\textbf{E}quation\ \large\textsf{\#4.}`

`\large\textsf{-3 + 5}`

`\large\textsf{= 2}`

`\huge\textsf{Y}\text{our answers should be }\huge\boxed{\downarrow}`

`\large\textsf{For equation: \boxed{\mathsf{3 - 5}}}`

`\bullet{\ \large\textsf{3 + (-5)}}\\\\\bullet{\ \large\textsf{-5 + 3}}`

`\large\textsf{For equation: \boxed{\mathsf{{5 - 3}}}}`

`\bullet{\ \large\textsf{5 + (-3)}}\\\\\bullet{\ \large\textsf{-3 + 5}}`
