Question

Find the values and compare the answers :(-6)-(-2) and (-6)+2

Answer 1

The values for both the expressions are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

expressions as

(-6)-(-2)

(-6) +2

To find:

values of the expression and compare

Solution:

As we solve these expressions the important rule to keep in mind is the BODMAS rule.

And also to keep in mind the rules that-

Two negatives make positive and one negative and one positive make negative

The first expression is (-6)-(-2)

first, we open the second bracket with 2, and the negative sign changes to positive

= -6 + 2

Now, we will subtract 2 from 6 but the answer will have the bigger number 6's sign

= -4

∴ (-6)-(-2) = -4

The second expression is (-6)+2

First, by opening the brackets if any, we get

-6+2

= -4

∴  (-6)+2 = -4

As we look at and compare both the answers to the expression we see

(-6)-(-2) = (-6)+2

Thus, both the expressions have equal values

Answer 2

Answer:

-4 is the value of both (-6) + 2 and (-6) - (-2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Given that, (-6) - (-2) and (-6)+ 2

Now, according to the question, we first find out the values then we compare the answers.

We use the BODMAS rule to solve this question.

• BODMAS rule - The Bodmas rule is arranged according to the letters in the acronym BODMAS, which stand for brackets, order of powers or roots, division, and multiplication. A stands for addition and S for subtraction.

• And we also know that product of two negative is always positive, and the product of negative and positive is negative.

Step 1:

Solve (-6) - (-2)

⇒-6 + 2          [where '-'×  '-' = + ]

⇒ -4               [where the negative sign has greater value so  we take negative  sign ]

Solve for (-6) + 2

⇒ -6 + 2 = -4

So, here we can see that,  (-6) - (-2) = (-6) + 2 = -4

Final answer:

Hence, -4 is the value of both (-6) + 2 and (-6) - (-2).
