Question

Subtract:

$(-15)$ from $25$

Answer 1

We have to find $25-(-15)$

Here subtrahend is $-15$ and minuend is $25$.

To subtract the subtrahend from the minuend, we need to add the additive inverse of subtrahend($-15$) to the minuend($25$).

So, $25-(-15)$ $=25+(additiveinverseof-15)$

$=25+15$ (As additive inverse of $-15$ is $15$)

$=40$.

Final Answer: $25-(-15)$$=40$.
