Answer 1

Answer:

Option C is correct

2 is the sum of 14 and the opposite of 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find:

Sum of 14 and the opposite of 12.

$\text{Opposite of 12} = -12$

and

$\text{Sum of 14 and opposite of 12} = 14 + (-12)$

then;

$14+(-12) = 14 -12 = 2$

Therefore, 2 is the sum of 14 and the opposite of 12
