Question

Type the integer that makes the following subtraction sentence true. ?-(-5)=7

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative symbols make it tricky. Just remember, 2 negatives = a positive.

so x- -5 = 7

Sense 2 negatives equals positive, that means we are adding 5, not subtracting negative 5.

so our new problem is x + 5 = 7

If we run the problem backwards now, (7-5=x) then we get 2
