Question

Simplify this expression: 19 – (–8) – (–14) = ?
A. 41
B. –7
C. –3
D. 25

Answer 1

When you are subtracting a negative, you treat it as if you are adding a positive. So 19-(-8) would be 19 + 8 which is 27. Then do the same thing with the 14, so instead of 27 -(-14) it's 27 + 14 which is 41. So your answer is 41. I hope this helps! XD
