Answer:

Yes.

(20-(-16)) = 20 + 16

20 + 16 = 36 thus

(20-(-16)) = 36

Explanation:

With your equation, I'm pretty sure you are trying to determine whether or not this equation is true. Let's start with the first part.

(20-(-16))

Let's break it down.

20 - -16

Whenever a number is like that, it becomes a positive. (I don't really remember what its called, but it flips in negativity)

20 + 16

20 + 16 = 36.

36 = (20-(-16))
