Question

What is the answer to number 38

Answer 1

The difference required is

`50-(-17)`

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the positive version of the number, so we have

`50-(-17) = 50+17=67`

Answer 2

67

Explanation:

subtract the lowest from the highest:

50 - -17 = 50 + 17 = 67

so subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the postive of that number.
