The answer for your question should be A because if you subtract all the questions correctlly then you would see that 46-67 is the only on that fits the question mainly because you are trying to see which equation answers for -21 and A is the only one that does. Hope I get Brianleest

Let the unknown number be "n",

This number is sutracted from 46. So, 46 less n.
That is (46 - n).
The result to this is -21.
∴The equation would be;

46 - n = -21.
Now solve for n.
46-n=-21
46 + 21 =n
n=67
