Question

Which problems result in a positive number? Choose all answers that are correct. A. –6 – (–8.1) B. C. 7.5 – (–1.4) D. –5.7 + 2.4

Answer 1

You're answers would be A. and C. because of the if you subtract a negative and a negative, they will ALWAYS equal a positive, and a positive and positive will equal a positive, but a negative AND a positive will equal negative.
