Question

D+(−5.004)=2.826
I am so confused. What do I do?

Answer 1

Okayyy, so the answer is 7.830. Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number so you can rewrite it as d-5.004=2.826, then you will add 5.004 to 2.826 and for your answer you will get 7.830.

Answer 2

d=7.83

Explanation:

Do the following

d +(-5.004)=2.826

1) To eliminate the Parenthesis we're going to operate the plus times -5.004:

What gives us:

d - 5.004 = 2.826

2) Let's add 5.004 to both sides to leave d alone, on ther first member:

d-5.004 +5.004= 2.826+5.004

d+0=7.830

d=7.83
