Final answer:
Subtracting xxxii and xcvi from lix in Roman numerals results in a negative number, which cannot be represented with Roman numerals. Therefore, there is no valid Roman numeral for the solution to lix - xxxii - xcvi.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate lix − xxxii − xcvi, we need to convert the Roman numerals to Arabic numbers, perform the subtraction, and convert the result back to Roman numerals.
- lix in Arabic numerals is 59.
- xxxii in Arabic numerals is 32.
- xcvi in Arabic numerals is 96.
Now subtract the smaller numbers from the largest: 59 − 32 − 96. This equals -69, since when you subtract 32 from 59 you get 27, and subtracting 96 from 27 you get a negative number. However, Roman numerals do not have a symbol to represent negative numbers. In the context of Roman numerals and Homework Exercises, we do not typically deal with negative results.
Therefore, the subtraction of the given Roman numerals does not have a valid Roman numeral representation due to the result being a negative number.
