2 - 5 - 42 + 3 = -42
40-42+5 -2+5 3 3 is the answer
4m + 9 + 5m - 12 = 42 9m -3 = 42 9m = 42 + 3 9m = 45 m = 5
It is a bigger plus. For example, 5 - (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8
Because adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive. In other words, minus a plus is he same as plus a minus. For example 5+ (-3) = 5-3 = +2 5 -(+3) = 5-3 = +2 Remember minus a plus = = minus plus a minus = minus plus a plus = plus minus a minus = plus
2 - 5 + 3 - 5 = -5
Answer = 2 - (-3) = 2 + 3 = 5 minus minus means plus.
5 times 7 divided by 5 plus 3 minus 4 is 6.
1 - 3 + 5 - 7 = -4
42/3 = 14 x 7 = 98 - 5 = 93
4 - 5 + (-2) = -3
When you have a minus and a plus sign together, you simply ignore the plus sign. For example -5 + -3 is the same as -5 - 3 which is -8. If you have two minus signs together, you replace them with a plus sign. For example -5 - -3 is the same as -5 + 3 which gives -2. At school I learned a simple rule: 'Minus a minus is a plus'
