TRUE OR FALSE? The difference between two numbers is (-3). WHICH OF THE EXPRESSIONS COULD REPRESENT THE SUBTRACTION PROBLEM? (HINT: Solve each expression - if it equals (-3) it is TRUE - if it does NOT equal (-3) than it is FALSE) REMEMBER: Change subtraction problem into addition problem before solving. A) -4 - 1

Respuesta :

Answer:

A) True

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]-4,-1[/tex]

If we subtract the two numbers we get

[tex]-4-(-1)=-4+1=-3[/tex]

It can be seen that subtracting the two numbers changes the sign of one number by which we can algebraically subtract the numbers. Since, the addition of 1 shifts the number towards zero in the number line, the minus sign still remains.

So A)-4 -1 is true.
