Subtract17-(-18)
When we subtract a negative number, it is the same as adding the positive value of that number. In this case, subtracting a negative number is the same as adding 18. So,
17 - (-18) = 17 + 18 = 35
To subtract 17 from -18, you can use the following steps:
Step 1: Change the subtraction of a negative number to addition:
17 - (-18) = 17 + 18
Step 2: Add the two numbers together:
17 + 18 = 35
So, subtracting 17 from -18 is equal to 35.
To calculate the difference between 17 and -18, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Change the double negative (-18) to a positive number. When subtracting a negative number, you can think of it as adding the positive value instead. So, -(-18) becomes +18.
Step 2: Subtract 17 from 18. Since 18 is greater than 17, you subtract 17 from 18, which gives you a value of 1.
Therefore, subtracting 17-(-18) equals 1.
