Im struggling hard to understand Subtracting Negative Numbers.

Mathematics

No, that "bigger number is negative" bit isn't right.

Once you have done what  you have to do inside the brackets (in this case, nothing), you get4--8=12.
Now we all know that two negatives make a positve, so it's 4+8=12, which makes perfect sense.

The other twop examples you gave work exactly the same way: two negatives cancel each other out and make a positive.

Question 11 (2.5 points)
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is d, because a represents adults, and c represent children. It's $45 per adult, so $45a, and $30 per child, so $30c. a+c is equal to 10, because that's how many tickets were purchased. $45a+$30c=345, because $345 is the total amount spent on tickets.
