Question

Evaluate q-r if q=-14 and r=-6

Answer 1

Write the given expression:

q - r =

For the next step, replace q with -14 and replace r with -6:

q - r = -14 - (-6)

Now complete the operation. Subtracting a negative is adding a positive.

q - r = -14 - (-6) = -14 + 6 = -8

Answer: -8

Answer 2

If q = -14 and r = -6.

Then the equation would be -14 - (-6). In that case, the correct answer is -8.

Hope this helps!
