Question

perform each of the following operations.

  1. $8 - 4$
  2. $13 + (-3)$
  3. $-1 - 5$
  4. $7 - (-3)$
  5. $-4 + (-9)$
  6. $(-10) \div (-5)$

Explanation:

Response
Problem 5: \( 8 - 4 \)

Step 1: Subtract 4 from 8

\( 8 - 4 = 4 \)

Step 1: Add a negative number (equivalent to subtraction)

Adding -3 to 13 is the same as \( 13 - 3 \)
\( 13 - 3 = 10 \)

Step 1: Subtract 5 from -1 (equivalent to adding -5)

\( -1 + (-5) = -6 \) (When adding two negative numbers, we add their absolute values and keep the negative sign)

Answer:

4

Problem 6: \( 13 + (-3) \)
