Question

Select all the statements that are true.

2.3 + ( - 2.3 ) is equal to zero.

( -3.7 ) + ( -4.1 ) is positive.

-2.6 - ( -12/4 ) is positive.

5/2 + ( -2.5 ) is negative.


72 - ( -100 ) is negative.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B (-3.7)+(-4.1) is positive

Answer 2

The 1st and the 3rd one

Explanation:

2.3+(-2.3) ➡ 2.3 -2.3 = 0 ,so this option is correct

-3.7+(-4.1) ➡ -3.7 - 4.1 = -7.8 so this option isn't correct

-2.6-(-12/4) ➡-2.6 + 3 = 0.4 this option is also correct

(5/2)+(-2.5) ➡ 5/2 -5/2 = 0 this would be undefined because we can't divide 0 by 2 or any other rational numbers

E.72-(-100) ➡72+100= 172 this option is incorrect because 172 is positive
