Which difference has an answer of -10?

A) (-5) - 5

Answer 4

Answer 6

Answer 7

Please don't set A for your answer. It is wildly incorrect.

Answer 8

@msumner please use the number line system as practice and you will find your answer.

Answer 9

its clearly not. cant add and subtract?

Answer 10

its the same thing with (-6)-3= -9

Answer 11

Solve -12 - (-2)

Well two negative signs next to each other make it into a positive sign so you're really doing.

-12 + 2

Start on your number line at -12 and add 2 by going to the right.... which is actually getting you closer to 0.

For -5-5 , start at -5 and subtract 5. (Move to the left, farther from 0)

You should see your answer fairly easily.
