Answer:

B. +29 + +18

Explanation:

+18- -29 what you do is you make the minus signs addition because when you are subtracting a negative it becomes a positive.

+29 + +18 is your answer.

Your answer will be option B "+29 + +18." Equivalent means the same amount and according to the rules of KCC (Keep Change Change) +18 - -29 will convert into +18 + +29 which would equal 47 which is equivalent to option B.


+18 -29


KCC=18+29


18+29=47

Option A -18 + 18 = 0

Option B +29 + +18 = 47

Option C -18 - +29 = -18 + -29 = -47

Option D -29 - -18 = -29 + 18 = -11

Therefore your answer is option B.

Hope this helps.
