Question

Simplify 4 + (-3) - 2 times (-6)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$= 4 + ( - 3) - 2 ( - 6)$

here ( + ) × ( - ) = ( - )

$= 4 - 3 + 12$

$= 4 + 12 - 3$

$= 16 - 3$

$= 13$

Answer 2

The correct result of this simplification is 13

To solve this question, we'll just apply the rule of signs - and then we'll calculate the operations.

- In the sign rule - when both signs are equal, the result will be positive. If the signs are different, the result is negative.

• - ( - ) = +
• + ( + ) = +
• - ( + ) = -
• + ( - ) = -

Resolution

4 + ( - 3 ) - 2 · ( - 6 )

4 - 3 - ( - 12 )

4 - 3 + 12

1 + 12

13

Therefore, the alternative value will be 13
