Plz answer

Answer 1

86.

Explanation:

Work out the 'inner' parentheses first:

(37 - (-8)] + [11 - (-30)]

= (37 + 8) + (11 + 30)

Now the outer parentheses:

= 45 + 41

= 86.

Answer 2

86

Explanation:

Since something minus a negative is just adding, we get 37-(-8)=37+8 or 45. We can do the same with 11-(-30) which is 11+30 or 41. So 45+41=86
