Which of the following expressions is equivalent to a-b where a and b are any numbers? A. b-a B. a+b C. -a+b D. -b+a

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

in a-b a is -ve/+ve b is -ve/+ve ? @juciystar234

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

hint ***--->>> the sign is in front of the letter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah they're positive, but I think it might be C or D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So say A Is 5 & B is 3. a-b would = 2 but which expression would give you the same answer?

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

u can do that or there is no sign in front of a but there is a -ve sign in front of b right?
