Question

Which statement best explains the value of 17 − (−3)?
a. The additive inverse of −3 is −3, so 17 − (−3) = 20.
b.The additive inverse of −3 is +3, so 17 − (−3) = 20.
c.The additive inverse of −3 is −3, so 17 − (−3) = 14.
d. The additive inverse of −3 is +3, so 17 − (−3) = 14.

Answer 1

The answer to the question would be

B. The additive inverse of-3 is +3, so 17-(-3)=20   That's because if you do KCC (Keep Change Change )then you would get 17+3 add 3+17=20 that's easy

Answer 2

Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation: -3 is +3, so 17- (-3) = 20
