Question

Remove the parentheses from the expression (–2) – (–3). A. 2 – 3 B. –2 + 3 C. 2 + 3 D. –2 – 3

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative of a negative is a positive, so B is your choice.  Think of it anothe way, if it helps.  Imagine that the expression is this:

(-2) + (-1)(-3) since every subtraction problem can be rewritten as an addition problem.

We would first, by orders of operation, multiply the -1 and the -3 getting 3.  Then the problem would simplify down to -2 + 3

Just another idea to ponder...
