Putting a negative number in parentheses merely assists a subtraction sum involving negative numbers. For example, 14 - (-17) = 31.

What property is shown in negative parenthesis negative 38 plus 17 parenthesis equals 38 plus negative 17?

-(-38 + 17) = 38 + (-17) On the left side we read: the opposite of the quantity. Since that quantity contains two terms, it also means the opposite of both terms. Let me rewrite the left side, such as - {-(38) + [- (-17)]}. (notice, -38 is the opposite of 38, and -(-17) is the opposite of -17) Let me distribute the negative sign to both terms of the quantity, -(-38) + {-[- (-17)]}. So we have an equivalent statement such as -(-38) + {- [-(-17)]} = 38 + (-17) As you see, in this new statement we have the opposite of the opposite of a number which would give us back the number itself, and as a result 38 + (-17) = 38 + (-17) Therefore, the original statement is an identity.
