Question

Subtract:
(i) 18 from −34
(ii) −15 from 25
(iii) −28 from −43
(iv) 68 from −37
(v) 219 from 0
(vi) −92 from 0
(vii) −135 from −250
(viii) −2768 from −287
(ix) 6240 from −271
(x) −3012 from 6250

Answer 1

(i) −34 − 18
= −52

(ii) 25 − (−15)
= 25 + 15
= 40
(iii) −28 from −43
= −43 − (−28)
= −43 + 28
​= −15

(iv) 68 from −37
= −37 − 68
= −105
​(v) 219 from 0
= 0 − 219
= −219

(vi) −92 from 0
= 0 − (−92)
= 0 + 92
= 92

(vii) −135 from −250
= −250 − (−135)
​= −250 + 135
= −115

(viii) −2768 from −287
= −287 − (−2768)
​= 2768 −​ 287
= 2481

(ix) 6240 from −271
= −271 − (6240)
= −271 − 6240
= −6511

(x) −3012 from 6250
= 6250 − (−3012)
= 6250 + 3012
​= 9262
