16.9 - (-5) =
17. - 12 - ( + 8) =
18. 15 - 9=
19. - 5 - (-8)=
20. - 11 - ( + 14 ) =​

Answer 1

16.9-(-5)=21.9

17.-12-(+8)= -3

18.15-9=9.15

19.-5-(-8)=22

20.-11-(+14)=-5

Answer 2

16. 9 - (-5) = 21.9

17. -12 - ( + 8) = -4

18. 15 - 9 = 6

19. -5 - (-8)= 3

20. -11 - ( + 14 ) =​ -25

Explanation:

Subtracting a negative from another number is the same as adding the number. Thus, 16.9 - (-5) = 16.9 + 5.

Hope it helps <3 :)
