Question

PLEASEEEE I NEEED HEEELPPP THIS IS AND A SUBTRACT INTEGERS BUT I DON’T UNDERSTAND

Answer 1

-5

Explanation:

When you are subtracting a negative number, it is the same as adding a positive. We can re-write the expression as:

-87 + 82

When adding a negative and positive number, the one with the larger absolute value controls what sign the sum has. In this case the sum would be negative because 87 > 82. Also, we would subtract these absolute values: 87-82 = 5. This has to be negative, meaning the answer is -5.

Answer 2

-5

Explanation:

Subtracting a negative is just like adding a positive. A way to think about this is that the negative cancel each other out are you left with a positive number.

You can rewrite this as -87 + 82.

Then, you solve and get -5.
