a) -105
b) -125
c) 125
d) 105

Answer 1

The subtraction problem 355−229 yields a result of 126, which contradicts the given condition that the result should be the same as -230. Hence, based on the problem's parameters, no answer choice provided is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of 355−229 is a basic arithmetic problem, which can be solved by subtracting 229 from 355. To perform the subtraction, align the numbers by their place values and subtract each column starting from the rightmost digit. Combining the results of each place value, the solution is 126.
However, since the question instructs to consider the result to be the same as −230, this indicates there might have been a typo or a misunderstanding. The correct answer cannot be −230 because 355−229 is a positive number. Therefore, none of the options given (a) -105, (b) -125, (c) 125, (d) 105 are accurate if compared to -230.
