Subtract24-(-15)
To subtract -24 from -15, we can change the sign of -24 and then add it to -15.
-24 + 15 = -9
Therefore, -24 - (-15) is equal to -9.
To subtract -15 from 24, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Rewrite the problem as addition:
24 - (-15)
Step 2: To subtract a negative number, you can change it to addition by changing the sign:
24 + 15
Step 3: Add the two numbers together:
24 + 15 = 39
Therefore, subtracting -15 from 24 is equal to 39.
To subtract 24 from -(-15), you can follow these steps:
1. Simplify the double negative by remembering that subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding its positive counterpart. So, -(-15) becomes 15.
2. The equation now becomes 24 - 15.
3. Subtract 15 from 24. Since 15 is smaller than 24, you start with the units place. Subtracting 5 from 4 is not possible, so you need to borrow from the tens place.
4. Borrow a value of 1 from the tens place, making it 2. Then add 10 to the units place, which becomes 14.
5. Subtract 15 (which is now 5 in the tens place and 14 in the units place) from 24 (2 in the tens place and 4 in the units place). Subtracting 4 from 14 equals 10, and 2 minus 5 equals -3.
6. The final answer is -10 (in the tens place) and -3 (in the units place).
Therefore, the result of subtracting 24 from -(-15) is -10-3 = -13.
