Question

Which best explains how to subtract one integer from another?

Answer 1

Option (3)

Explanation:

Integers are the numbers which don't have a fractional part (having positive of negative notations)

Example; -2, -1, 0, 1, 2,...

Let the two integers are 0 and 2,

Subtraction of these integers will be = 0 - 2

= 0 + (-2)

Here opposite of 2 has been added to 0.

That means subtraction of two integers is to add the opposite of the integer being subtracted.

Option (3) will be the answer.
