Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Noting that

+ (- ) is equivalent to subtraction

- (- ) is equivalent to addition

Given

13 + (- 12) - (- 5)

= 13 - 12 + 5

= 1 + 5

= 6 → C

Answer:

C) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

13 + (-12) - (-5) = 13 + (-12) + 5

                       = 1 +5

                      = 6

13 & (-12 ) have different sign, so subtract and put the sign of the greater number's sign.

Enter numbers to evaluate ‐13−23.
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

- 13 - 23 = - 13 + (-23)

= -36

- 13 - (- 23) = - 13 + 23

= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

In any order of operation (i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication, devision) the following rules apply for two values for instance <em>a </em>and <em>b </em>where <em>a > b </em>:

→ <em>If +a and +b then the final sign will be + (positive)</em>

→ <em>If +a and -b then the final sign will be + (positive) since a>b</em>

→ <em>If -a and +b then the final sign will be - (negative) since a>b</em>

→ <em>If -a and -b then the final sign will be - (negative)</em>

In the given question we have two cases.

Case 1:

- 13 - 23 = - 13 + (-23)     <em>→ since it is given that we add a negative value of -23, therefore it keeps its sign (so this would be a negative addition i.e. adding two negative values)</em>

Thus we have:

- 13 - 23 = - 13 + (-23)

= -36

Case 2:

- 13 - (- 23) = - 13 + 23     <em>→ since we stated earlier that - and - gives positive sign (i.e. we subtract two negative values)</em>

Thus we have:

- 13 - (- 23) = - 13 + 23

= 10

<em>So we can see that: </em>

<em>Adding two Negative values gives a Negative value (Case 1)</em>

Subtracting two Negative values gives a Positive value (Case 2)
