Question

12 - (-2) subtract using the rule, show work

Answer 1

Hi there! I'll help you solve this problem!

We are asked to simplify the following expression:

• 
  `\sf{12-(-2)}`

Use the rule:

`\bullet\quad\bf{a-(-b)=a+b}`

Similarly,

`\bullet\quad\bf{12-(-2)=12+2}`

`\bullet\quad\bf{12+2=\boxed{\bf{14}}`

Therefore, the answer is 14.
