What is 2017 minus 4000 years ago

Answer 1

1983 BC and there's a pic of me

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

1983 B.C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract this, we can reverse the order and make the answer negative. The reason for this is that we are taking away more than we have, so we will have a negative answer.

4000-2017 = 1983

In terms of time, though, we don't deal with negatives, we deal with A.D. and B.C. The use of A.D. is for dates after the year 1; B.C. is for anything before this. Since our number is "negative," it will be 1983 B.C.
