Question

Simplify: $-47352+21943$

Answer 1

Step 1: Find the absolute values:

Absolute value of $-47352$$=\left|-47352\right|$$=-\left(-47352\right)$

$=47352$

Absolute value of $21943$$=\left|21943\right|$

$=21943$

Step 2: Subtract their absolute values and assign a sign:

$\therefore -47352+21943=-\left[47352-21943\right]$ ($\because \left|47352\right|>\left|21943\right|$, So we shall subtract $21943$ from $47352$ and will use the sign of $47352$)

$=-25409$

Therefore, the value is $-25409$
