Question

Find each difference.

1 – (-47)

Answer 1

48

Explanation:

Hello!

For these types of problems, a negative on the outside of the parenthesis and one negative inside combines and becomes a addition sign.

x-(-x)= x+x

So it would be

1+47=48

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

1 - (-47)
1 + 47 ( a number minus a negative is equal to adding the two values)
48
