Question

Using the numbers 4.3, -1.07 and -2.971, write an expression using addition and subtraction coming out to a negative answer.

Answer 1

The expression is ( – 1.07 ) + ( - 2.971 ) – ( 4.3 )

Solution:

Given that, we have to use the numbers 4.3 , - 1.07 and – 2.971 such that the value of the expression with the given numbers and the either addition or subtraction operation between them to be negative value.

So, now take the numbers.

If we add the negative numbers and subtract the positive number from it, we will always get a negative number

So, expression will be ( – 1.07 ) + ( - 2.971 ) – ( 4.3 )

- 1.07 – 2.971 – 4.3

- 8.341

Here the result is negative value.

Hence, the expression is ( – 1.07 ) + ( - 2.971 ) – ( 4.3 )
