Question

Using the suitable property, match the following to their simplified values.

• A. 6
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 1

Answer 1

For any two positive numbers$x$ and $y$,
$-x$ +$y$ = ($y$ - $x$).
Here, we are using the above property.

i) - 3 + 9 = 9 - 3 = 6

ii) - 2 + 5 = 5 - 2 = 3

iii) -4 + 8 = 8 - 4 = 4

iv) -5 + 6= 6 - 5 = 1
