Q. Use addition to rewrite the subtraction expression below without changing the digits. Do not solve.1−9Answer:
Identify Additive Inverse: To rewrite the subtraction expression 1−9 as an addition expression, we need to express the number we are subtracting (9) as its additive inverse. The additive inverse of a number is what you add to that number to get zero. For 9, the additive inverse is −9.
Replace Subtraction with Addition: Now, we replace the subtraction of 9 with the addition of its additive inverse. So, 1−9 becomes 1+(−9).
Rewritten Expression: We have successfully rewritten the subtraction expression as an addition expression without changing the digits. We do not need to solve further as per the instructions.
