Question

Find the error. Mohan evaluated the expression -8 – (-3) and came up with the answer -11. What

did Mohan do wrong?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate!

Step-by-step explanation:

key :

× = multiplication

solution:

-8 - (-3)

If u know that - x - = +

Then,

-8 + 3 ( as - x - = +)

Now, - x + = -

So -8 + 3 = -5 ( as the sum should always have the greater number's sign

So what mohan did wrong in this sum is that he added the numbers -8 + 3 = -11

But - x + = -

So we should subract these numbers

Hope this helped u...
