Question

Evaluate when w-k when w= -17 and k= -5

Answer 1

w - k in this case would just be -17 - (-5), which would become -17 + 5, with the outcome being -12

Answer 2

How it's evaluated:

(1) w - k = -7 - -5

(2) -17 - -5= = -17 + (-15)

(3) -17 + (-15) = -2

First step is change W and K and change it into it's correct number.

Second step is change the subtraction sign to it's opposite.

Third step is subtract -17 and (-15) which would give you -2
