Show how you use the additive inverse to solve the following. 1. 8-9= 8 + (-9) =
2. +5 - (+14) =
4. -10 - (-9) =
3. -23 - (+10)-(-4) =
6. 16 - (+16) =
5. (+17)-(-20) -(+12) =
8. 5-(+7) -(-8)-3-(-6) =
7. - 200-(-120) -- 25 =
10.-18+ (-22) - (-31) =
9. 53-(-17) + (-6) =​

1.8-9=8+(-9)=?

2.+5-(14)= -9

3. -10-(-9)= -1

6.16-(+16)= 0

5.(+17)-(-20)-(12)= 25

8.5-(+7)-(-8)-3-(6)=9

7.-200-(-120)-25=105

10.-18+(-22)-(-31)=9

9.53-(-17)+(-6)=64

that's my answer

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
