Question

(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. Thus, we find that for any two integers a and b, - -​
