Question

-85 minus -16


HELP!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:-69

Step-by-step explanation:-85 - -16 would be changed to -85+16 because there are two minus signs next to eachother.

Answer 2

-85-16 is equal to -101

I like to treat this as an addition problem to make it sound simple (may only apply to both being negative)

Ask yourself what is 85+16?
101

The question is asking the opposite negative version of it, meaning add a negative to change your answer to -101 as the final answer.
