Question

Subtract the sum of -1250 and 1138 from the sum of 1136 and 1272

Answer 1

Answer:

Let’s organize what they’re asking for.

Subtract the sum of -1250 and 1138 from the sum of 1136 and 1272.

Lets first find the sun if -1250 and 1138:

-1250 + 1138 = -112

Then we’re asked to subtract that sum from the sum of 1136 and 1272. So now let’s find the sum of 1136 and 1272:

1136 + 1272 = 2408

Alright now back to what they’re asking for.

The question asks to subtract the sum of -1250 and 1138 FROM the sum of 1136 and 1272.

We’re subtracting a negative number FROM a positive number, so basically we can turn the negative number into a positive number and we will instead have an addition problem:

2408 - (-112)

The -112 will change to a +112

so now we have an addition problem.

2408 + 112 = 2520

The answer to your question is 2,520
