Question

Which of the following statement is true: -7 a.2 Subtracted from -3 gives 1 b. -1 subtracted from -5 gives 6 c.3 Subtracted from -8 gives -11 d. 1 subtracted from -7 gives -6​

Answer 1

Answer: option (c)

Step-by-step explanation: We can start ruling out the other options first.

Option a : -3 - 2 = -5, not 1. so therefore, option a is false.

Option b :

= -5 - (-1)

= -5 + 1

= -4, not 6. So therefore, option b is false

Option c : -8 - 3 = -11, so this is true.

Option d : -7 - 1 = -8, so therefore this is also not true.

Answer : Option (c)

Hence proved
