Q. Is −78−(−6)-78 - (-6) positive or negative?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)positive\newline(B)negative
  1. Identify Signs: Identify the signs of the numbers. −78-78 is negative, and −6-6 is also negative. But we're subtracting a negative, which is like adding a positive.
  2. Subtracting Negative: Subtracting a negative is the same as adding its positive equivalent. So, –78−(–6)–78 − (–6) is the same as –78+6–78 + 6.
  3. Add Numbers: Now, add −78-78 and 66. The absolute value of −78-78 is greater than the absolute value of 66, so the result will be negative.
  4. Perform Addition: Perform the addition. −78+6-78 + 6 equals −72-72.
