Question

. If P = (- 54) and Q = 29, what is the largest negative integer that should be
added to (P +Q) – (P – Q) so that the result is a negative integer?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

p=(-54) Q=29

(P+Q)-(P-Q)

=(-54+29)-(-54-29)

=-25-(-83)

=-25+83

=58

to get largest negative number as a result we must add -59 to 58

58+(-59)

=58-59

=-1. ( -1 is the largest negative number)

Answer 2

Answer:

-58

Step-by-step explanation:

P = (-54) and Q = 29

(P+Q) - (P - Q) ... 1

then ,

put value of P and Q in eq.1

[ (-54) +(29) ] - [ (-54) - (29) ]

= (-25) - (-83) = -58

Ans. -58
