Does x-y=x+(-y) for all numbers x and y?
Yes.
yes, that is correct
thanks u both but i already answered yes to that question
To determine if the equation x - y is equal to x + (-y) for all numbers x and y, we need to evaluate both sides of the equation separately and then compare them.
The statement x - y represents the subtraction of y from x.
The statement x + (-y) represents the addition of the opposite of y to x. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is denoted by the negative sign (-) placed in front of the number.
So, to determine if x-y is equal to x + (-y), we can simplify both sides of the equation:
x - y = x + (-y)
(x-y) = (x-y)
Now, we can see that both sides of the equation are the same, which means that x - y is indeed equal to x + (-y) for all numbers x and y.
