Full solution

Q. Compute:\newline−11−(−9) -11-(-9) \newlineAnswer:
  1. Understand Operation: Understand the operation. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart.
  2. Rewrite Subtraction: Rewrite the subtraction of a negative number as an addition. −11−(−9)-11 - (-9) is the same as −11+9-11 + 9.
  3. Add Numbers: Add the numbers. Since we are adding a negative number and a positive number, the sign of the result will be the sign of the larger absolute value number, which is −11-11. Calculate the difference in their absolute values: 11−9=211 - 9 = 2.
  4. Apply Sign: Apply the sign from Step 33 to the result from Step 33. The final answer is −2-2.
