-3.4 - (7.6)
I get 4.2
Correct?
No. Two negative numbers cannot add up to a positive number. The answqer would be -11.
It would be correct if the question were
-3.4 -(-7.6), because in that case you would be adding 7.6
Did you copy the question correctly?
-3.4 -(-7.6) is the correct problem
So my answer is -11 correct?
If -3.4 -(-7.6) is the correct problem
(although was not what you typed originally), then your first answer of 4.2 would be correct
To find the result of the expression -3.4 - (7.6), you need to subtract 7.6 from -3.4.
-3.4 - (7.6) is equivalent to -3.4 - 7.6.
To perform the subtraction, you subtract the second number (7.6) from the first number (-3.4).
-3.4 - 7.6 equals -11.
Therefore, the correct result is -11, not 4.2.
