1 (-5)+(-8)=(-8)+(——)
2 -53 +——=-53
3 17+— = 0
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 = -5

2 -53 + 0 = -53

3 17 + -17

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. (-5)+(-8)=(-8)+(-5) { Commutative Property a+b=b+a}

2.-53+0=-53 {Existence of Additive Identity a+0=a}

3. 17+(-17)=0 {Existence of Additive Inverse a+(-a) =0}
