Question

Find the difference. (a) 15 - 8 (b) 8 - (-3) (c) 16 - (-5) (d) 12 - 17 (e) -7 - 4 (f) -18 - 6 (g) 17 - (-19) (h) 20 - 4 (i) 8 - (-8) (k) -60 - (-8)

Answer 1

To find the difference between two numbers, subtract the second number from the first number. The differences for each equation are: (a) 7, (b) 11, (c) 21, (d) -5, (e) -11, (f) -24, (g) 36, (h) 16, (i) 16, (k) -52.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference between two numbers, you subtract the second number from the first number. So, for each equation:

1. (a) 15 - 8 = 7
2. (b) 8 - (-3) = 11
3. (c) 16 - (-5) = 21
4. (d) 12 - 17 = -5
5. (e) -7 - 4 = -11
6. (f) -18 - 6 = -24
7. (g) 17 - (-19) = 36
8. (h) 20 - 4 = 16
9. (i) 8 - (-8) = 16
10. (k) -60 - (-8) = -52
