Question

Subtract:

(14) 41 − (−33)

Answer 1

Since the additive inverse of (–33) is +33), the given expression can be written as 41 + 33.
As the signs of both the numbers are the same, we will add the two numbers.
41 + 33 = 74
The magnitude 41 is bigger than 33. So, we will give 74 the sign of +41, i.e., the positive sign.
∴ 41 – (–33) = +74
