Verify a -(-b) = a + b for the following values of a and b :(i) a = 21, b = 18    (ii) a = 118, b = 125(iii) a = 75, b = 84  (iv) a = 28, b = 11

Answer»

(i) Given: a = 21, b = 18 

We have a -(-b) = a =+ b 

Putting the values in L.H.S. =

a - (-b) = 21 -(-18) = 21 + 18 = 39 

Putting the values in R.H.S. 

= a + b = 21 + 18 = 39 

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S Hence, verified

(ii) Given: a = 118, b = 125 

We have a -(-b) = a =+ b 

Putting the values in L.H.S. =

a - (-b) = 118 -(-125) = 118 + 125 = 243

Putting the values in R.H.S. 

= a + b = 118 + 125 = 243

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S Hence, verified

(iii) Given: a = 75, b = 84

We have a -(-b) = a =+ b 

Putting the values in L.H.S. =

a - (-b) = 75 -(-84) = 75 + 84 = 159 

Putting the values in R.H.S. 

= a + b =75 + 84 = 159

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S Hence, verified

(iv) Given: a =28, b = 11

We have a -(-b) = a =+ b 

Putting the values in L.H.S. =

a - (-b) = 28-(-11) = 28 + 11 = 39 

Putting the values in R.H.S. 

= a + b = 28 + 11 = 39 

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S Hence, verified
