Answer 1

Answer:

$(23 - 17) - 19 \\( 23 \times - 19 )+ (- 17 \times - 19) \\ - 437 + 323 \\ - 114$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[23 + ( -17 ) ] + ( -19)

• = [ 23- 17 ] + ( -19 )
• =  6 - 19
• = -13
• LHS = -13
• 23 +  [ -17 -19 ]
• = 23 + [ - 36 ]
• = 23 - 36
• = -13
• RHS = -13
• ∴ LHS = RHS
