Question

Is 5,783 − -500,500 positive or negative?

Answer 1

I remember when I was a baby, my teacher always sang me a song, she said:

*positive (minus) a negative equals a positive*.

It has always stayed in my mind ever sense.

And because of this, I could be able to help you on this question.

This would be known to be a "positive".

As we mentioned above, (+)-(-)= (++).

Your answer: Positive.

Answer 2

we know that

A positive number minus a negative number is equal a positive number

so

we have

$5,783-(-500,500)=5,783+500,500=506,283$

therefore

the answer is

A positive number
