Question

7 - 22 and 22 - (-7) is the same thing.

A) True
B) False

Answer 1

False. 7 - 22 is not the same as 22 - (-7).

Step-by-step explanation:

False

7 - 22 is equal to -15, whereas 22 - (-7) is equal to 29. These two expressions are not the same.

Example: If you have 7 apples and you remove 22 apples, you will end up with a negative number of apples (-15).

However, if you have 22 apples and you remove (-7) apples, you will end up with more than 22 apples (29).

Therefore, 7 - 22 is not the same as 22 - (-7).
