- Subtraction can be thought of as the inverse operation of addition, OR as addition itself, if you look at it as adding a negative number.

- The number line allows us to interpret subtraction (or addition of a negative) geometrically; we can view it as a movement to the left on the number line with a distance equal to the number being subtracted.

- Lastly, the value of any expression a - b (where a and b are real numbers) is determined by the relative sizes of the numbers. If a > b, then a - b > 0 (a positive result). If b > a, then a - b < 0 (a negative result.

Answer: C) Cannot be done

Taking the square root of a negative number is not possible unless you involve complex numbers. If your teacher has not introduced that topic yet, then you just simply say "cannot be done" or something along those lines.
