Question

Simplify (45)-(+14). Pls guys explain it to me

Answer 1

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

(45)-(+14)

This is asking us to take 45 [(45)] and subtract 14 [-(+14)]

That is 45 - 14 = 31

The expression "-(+14)" is a deliberate attempt to confuse.  It says "subtract a positive 14."  There was no need to add the "+" sign in the parentheses, since a positive value is always assumed.  But it was added here to promote heartburn and the sale of TUMS.  When I see something like "-(+10000)," I immediately change it to "-10000" and move on, adding one demerit to the author of the problem.
