Question

What is 9 - (-8) = 20 and how did you get that answer?

Answer 1

9 -( -8)= 9 + 8= 17 not 20

17 is the solution

9+8=20 the two negatives cancel out, making the eight positive

no solution

I'm not sure if there was supposed to be a variable in there somewhere, but I did my best to explain. Hope this helps!
