Find: i) 40 – (22) ii) 84 – (98) iii) (-16) + (-17) iv) (-20) – (13) v) (38) – (-6) vi) (-17) – (-36)

Answer»

i) 40 – (22) = +40 – 22 

= +(18 + 22)-22 

= 18 +(22-22) 

= 18 + 0 

∴ 40-(22) = + 18

ii) 84 – (98) = 84 – 98

= + 84 – 84 – 14 

= (84 – 84) – 14 

= 0 – 14 

∴ 84 – (98) = – 14

iii) (-16) + (-17) = -16 – 17 = – 33 

∴ (-16) + (-17) = -33

iv) (-20) – (13) = – 20 – 13 = -33 

∴ (-20) – (13) = – 33

v) 38 – (-6) = 38 + 6 

We know – (-a) = a = + 44 

∴ 38 – (-6) = + 44

vi) (-17) – (-36) = -17 + 36 

We know – (- a) = a 

= -17 + 17 + 19 

= (-17+17) + 19

= + 19 

∴ (-17) – (-36) = + 19
