Question

Can someone please help me on #2

Answer 1

1 - (-8)

Note that:

two positive = positive

one positive & one negative = negative

two negatives = positive

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using the rules above, look at the question:

1 - (-8)

There are two negatives, so they change into positive. Add

1 - (-8) = 1 + 8 = 9

9 is your answer.

9 is the amount of spaces between -8 and 1

hope this helps
