Your answer would be 1, or 72+25.
What is happening in this case is a negative number is being subtracted from a positive. This means you are taking away a negative. The two negatives cancel each other out, and then it becomes you are adding a positive.
Another way I like to think about this is the two minus symbols combine together to form a plus sign.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
26V + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the same as saying f(g(x)), where x = 26
First, lets figure out what g(x) is equal to when x = 26
g(26) = V(26) - 1 = 26V - 1
Now we input 26V - 1 into f(x) for x
f(26V-1) = (26V-1) + 3 = 26V + 2
You don't need to regroup when adding a two-digit number with a number.
