Start with the integer 4. Subtract 8.
From your answer subtract -2, and the subtract 17 from the last answer. What is your final answer?
no idea. But I'll check yours.
It is the answer as 4-8= -4-(-2)=-4+2=-2, 17-(-2)=19
4-8 -(-2) -17
= -4 + 2 - 17
= -2 - 17
= -19
To find the final answer, we will start with the given integer 4 and perform the given operations step by step.
Step 1: Start with the integer 4.
Answer after Step 1: 4
Step 2: Subtract 8 from the previous answer.
Answer after Step 2: 4 - 8 = -4
Step 3: From the previous answer, subtract -2.
When subtracting a negative number, we can rewrite it as addition.
Answer after Step 3: -4 - (-2) = -4 + 2 = -2
Step 4: Subtract 17 from the last answer.
Answer after Step 4: -2 - 17 = -19
Therefore, the final answer is -19.
