PLEASE!!!
when subtracting a negative, just add instead. For example,
1-(-3) = 1+3 = 4
Now do the others in like wise.

Sure! Let's solve each problem step by step.
1. To find the difference between 1 and (-3), subtract the second number from the first number:
1 - (-3)
To subtract a negative number, we can change it to addition:
1 + 3
So, the difference is 4.
Therefore, the answer is (d) 4.
2. To find the difference between -9 and -2, subtract the second number from the first number:
-9 - (-2)
To subtract a negative number, we can change it to addition:
-9 + 2
So, the difference is -7.
Therefore, the answer is (b) -7.
3. To find the difference between -9 and -(-5), subtract the second number from the first number:
-9 - (-5)
To subtract a negative number, we can change it to addition:
-9 + 5
So, the difference is -4.
Therefore, the answer is (b) -4.
4. To find the difference between -64 and -(-83), subtract the second number from the first number:
-64 - (-83)
To subtract a negative number, we can change it to addition:
-64 + 83
So, the difference is 19.
Therefore, the answer is (c) 19.
5. To find the difference between Kim's score (65) and her sister's score (-12), subtract the second number from the first number:
65 - (-12)
To subtract a negative number, we can change it to addition:
65 + 12
So, the difference is 77.
Therefore, the answer is (b) 77.
I hope this helps! Is there anything else I can assist you with?
