Question

Thus, the additive inverse of any integer a isaan
1) Correct. Subtraction is opposite of addition and therefore, we add the additive
inverse of the integer that is being subtracted, to the other integer. For example
(a) 56 - 73 - 56+ additive inverse of 73 =56+(-73)=417
(b) 56-(-73) = 56+ additive inverse of (-73)=56+73= 129
(e) (-79) - 45 - (-79) + (-45)=-124
(d) (100)-(-172) = -100+ 172 - 72 etc.
Write atleast five such examples to verify this statement.​

Answer 1

Answer:

v) Correct. Subtraction is opposite of addition and therefore, we add the additive

inverse of the integer that is being subtracted, to the other integer. For example:

(a) 56 - 73 = 56+ additive inverse of 73 = 56+(-73) = -17

(b) 56-(-73) = 56 + additive inverse of (-73) = 56+ 73 = 129

(c) (-79) - 45 = (–79) + (-45)=-124

(d) (-100)-(-172) = -100+ 172 = 72 etc.

Write atleast five such examples to verify this statement.
