Q. Which expression has the same value as 1+(−3) ?−3−13- 11−(−3)1−3
Evaluate Expression 1+(−3): Evaluate the given expression 1+(−3). Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting its positive value. So, 1+(−3) is the same as 1−3. Calculate: 1−3=−2.
Evaluate First Choice −3−1: Evaluate the first choice −3−1. Subtracting 1 from −3 gives us −4. Calculate: −3−1=−4. This is not equal to −2.
Evaluate Second Choice 3−1: Evaluate the second choice 3−1. Subtracting 1 from 3 gives us 2. Calculate: 3−1=2. This is not equal to −2.
Evaluate Third Choice 1−(−3): Evaluate the third choice 1−(−3). Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive value. So, 1−(−3) is the same as 1+3. Calculate: 1+3=4. This is not equal to −2.
Evaluate Fourth Choice 1−3: Evaluate the fourth choice 1−3. Subtracting 3 from 1 gives us −2. Calculate: 1−3=−2. This is equal to the value of the given expression 1+(−3).
