Answer:

A positive number.

Any negative subtracted from a positive will always be positive.

Answer:

a-b will be and will always be a POSITIVE number.

This is because a is positive, and b is negative.

However, when you subtract a negative number, you are actually just adding it.

So, a - (-b) = a+b.

This is why, it will always be positive.

Let me know if this helps!

solve for r

180=100+4r

80=4r

20=r

check answer

4r-5     4(20)-5

80-5
