Question

Is it A, B, C, or D?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (D)  -1.3 + 1.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The number being subtracted in the given expression is -1.9. The opposite of that number is +1.9.

If we are to show equivalence of subtraction and adding the opposite, we expect to do so with ...

  $-1.3-(-1.9)=\boxed{-1.3+1.9}$

This is not a choice that is presented in this problem statement, so we suppose it is D (not shown).
