Q. Use addition to rewrite the subtraction expression below without changing the digits. Do not solve.17−(−19)Answer:
Rewrite Subtraction as Addition: To rewrite the subtraction expression as an addition expression, we need to understand that subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive. So, we can convert the expression 17−(−19) to an addition expression by changing the minus sign to a plus sign and the negative sign of 19 to a positive sign.Calculation: 17−(−19) becomes 17+19
Perform Calculation: Now that we have rewritten the subtraction expression as an addition expression, we can check to make sure that no digits have been changed and that the expression is mathematically equivalent to the original.Checking: Original expression was 17−(−19), and the new expression is 17+19. No digits have been changed, and the mathematical value of the expression remains the same.
