Question

Which of the following statement is true a.2 subtracted from -3 gives 1 b.-1 subtracted from-5 gives6 c. 3 subtracted from-8 gives -11 d. 1 subtracted from-7 gives-6

Answer 1

Answer:

statement or part c. is true

Answer 2

Answer:

C) 3 subtracted from -8 gives -11

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question, the main thing we need to remember is -1*-1 = +1.

1. Firstly, let us take option a), which says 2 subtracted from -3 gives 1.

Let us check if this is true.

                                  $-3-2 = -5$

The given answer is 1 and the answer we get is 5.

∴ Option a is incorrect.

    2. Next given, -1 subtracted from-5 gives 6

Let us calculate,

                       $-5-(-1)= -5+1 = -4$

It is clear that the answers don't match.

∴ Option b is incorrect.

    3. Option c states that, 3 subtracted from -8 gives -11

On subtracting,

                        $-8-3=-11$

Both the answers match correctly.

∴ Option c is incorrect.

    4. Lastly, given, 1 subtracted from-7 gives-6

                      ⇒$-7-1=-8$

∴ Option d is incorrect.

There's only one correct match. That is option c, which is the answer to the given question.
