-1217-(-2139) WOULD YOU TURN THE PROBLEM INTO -1217 +(-2139)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, drop the negative entirely.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

no

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

- - =+

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two negatives make a positive, so it would be the same as adding the two numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, you would add the + but then the on - would dissapear leaving -1217+2139

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

-1217 - (-2139)=-1217+2139

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.
