Well, well, well, let's subtract these numbers shall we?
1 - (-3) is like saying "Hey, 1, let's take away the opposite of 3!"
So, when you subtract a negative number, it's like adding that number.
Therefore, the answer is 1 + 3, which is 4.
So, my dear friend, the answer is D) 4.
To find the difference between two numbers, subtract the second number from the first number. In this case, you need to find the difference between 1 and -3.
1 - (-3)
To subtract a negative number, change the sign of the negative number to positive.
1 - (-3) becomes 1 + 3.
Now you can add the two numbers.
1 + 3 = 4
So the difference between 1 and -3 is 4.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 4.
