Question

5-(-4)=5+
write as addition

Answer 1

`5+4`

Explanation:

Based off the typical rules of integers, expressions like these can be simplified to look different but mean the same thing.

`5 - (-4) = 5+4`

In this case, we subtracted a negative value from a positive value; by doing this, we actually added positive 4.

Based on the same principals, adding a negative number is equivalent to subtraction!

Any time you see equations similar to this, you want to cancel out the 2 negative signs to make it positive!
