anonymous · Answer

is that the right anwser?

anonymous · Answer

if you have sum (a+b), then its opposite is -(a+b). This is exactly like D.

Actually, the sum of the opposite of all real numbers is equal to the sum of the opposite of the numbers. 
Which is -(a+b)=(-a)+(-b)
In your case, it's c.
