Hello there! I can help you! In order to answer those questions, we need to plug in the values, based off of the variable.
g. Okay. We are solving b - 10. b = -8. When you subtract something from a negative number, the number is even lower. Let's add the numbers first and then put in the negative symbol. 8 + 10 is 18. Put the negative sign and you get -18. The difference is -18.
h. Now, we solve a - b. a = 5 and b = -8. Because we are subtracting a negative number from a positive, we have to add both numbers, which means the number gets bigger. Ignore the negative sign and add. 5 + 8 is 13. There. The sum is 13.
i. The problem is c - a. c = -9 and a = 5. So as explained on problem G, for this problem, ignore the negative symbol and add. 9 + 5 is 14. Plug in the negative sign to get -14. There. The difference is -14.
