The value correct is 8

  • To solve this expression, we will apply the sign rule, so we know if we are going to subtract or add;

Equal signs - the result will be positive

Different signs - the result will be negative

  • Given the expression, let's just subtract the terms. Then the resolution will be:

88 + (-80)

88 - 80

8

Therefore, the value is 8
