Question

i need to rewrite the expression using addition, find the answer, then simplify but I don't know how. Can someone please explain this to me? ​

Answer 1

I'll just do 2 of them.

Remember that a positive minus a negative number is basically the positive plus positive. Example: 1-(-1) is equal to 1+1. The same goes for a positive plus a negative. Example: 1+(-1) = 1-1

For #4, we see 7-11. Using the rule, we can see that we can change this to 7+(-11).

For #11, the equation is -34-(-15)-(-18) so we can change this to:

-34+15+18. Always use the rule above!
