Question

question 5 of 8
subtract.
47 - 33 =
8 - (-9) =

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 47 - 33

To subtract 33 from 47, we can break it down: 47 - 30 = 17, then 17 - 3 = 14. So, \( 47 - 33 = 14 \).

Step2: Subtract 8 - (-9)

Recall the rule for subtracting a negative number: subtracting a negative is the same as adding the positive. So, \( 8 - (-9) = 8 + 9 \). Then, 8 + 9 = 17.

Answer:

For \( 47 - 33 \), the answer is 14.
For \( 8 - (-9) \), the answer is 17.
