Question

5. Simplify this expression: 19 – (–8) – (–14) = ?

Answer 1

When you have two negatives/subtraction signs next to each other you can add opposite, so you just make them both addition signs.
So the equation ends up being: 19+8+14, so you do the rest :)

Answer 2

When you distribute a negative into a set of parenthesis, all of the signs will switch (plus becomes minus, minus becomes plus)

So the expression turns into

$$ 19 + 8 + 14$$
