Question

Type the integer that makes the following subtraction sentence true:

- -188 = -559
Submit

Answer 1

Answer: -787

188 is positive, negative and negative equals positive

559 is negative

the answer needs to be negative as 559 is negative so you add 559 and 188 and get 787 and add a negative sign so it's more "negative" than 188. (hard to explain in writing)

-787--188=-559

-787+188=-559

-559=-559
