Question

From the sum of $-221$ and $(-9)$ subtract $-53$

Answer 1

We have to first find the sum of $-221and(-9)$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow -221+(-9) \\ =-221-9 \\ =-230 \end{gathered}$$

Now, we subtract $-53$ from $-230$, we get

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow -230-(-53) \\ =-230+53 \\ =-177 \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the final answer is $-177$
