-4 - (-8) =
I got 4 is this correct
-2 - (-6) =
Again I got 4 is this also correct
Both are correct.
both are correct, just use a claculator
To solve the first equation -4 - (-8), we need to simplify the expression using the rules of subtracting negative numbers:
1. Start with the expression -4.
2. Since we have a subtraction sign followed by another subtraction sign, we can rewrite it as -4 + 8.
3. Now, we add -4 and 8: -4 + 8 = 4.
So, the correct answer to -4 - (-8) is indeed 4.
For the second equation -2 - (-6), let's follow the same steps:
1. Start with the expression -2.
2. Rewrite it as -2 + 6 since we have a subtraction sign followed by another subtraction sign.
3. Now, add -2 and 6: -2 + 6 = 4.
Thus, the correct answer to -2 - (-6) is also 4. Well done!
