Explain how you know<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-ast-global-color-6-color\">The correct answer and explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">a. Write the expression as an unknown addend equation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The expression 4\u2212(\u221210)4 &#8211; (-10) can be written as an unknown addend equation as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4+10=x4 + 10 = x<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding the positive of that number. Therefore, 4\u2212(\u221210)4 &#8211; (-10) becomes 4+104 + 10, and the result is represented by xx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">b. What must be added to 10 to get a sum of 4?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To solve this, the equation is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10+unknown&nbsp;number=410 + \\text{unknown number} = 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the unknown number, subtract 10 from both sides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>unknown&nbsp;number=4\u221210\\text{unknown number} = 4 &#8211; 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the unknown number is \u22126-6. Therefore, \u22126-6 must be added to 10 to get a sum of 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">c. What is the value of the subtraction expression 4\u2212(\u221210)4 &#8211; (-10)? Explain how you know.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The value of the expression 4\u2212(\u221210)4 &#8211; (-10) can be simplified by recognizing that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the positive of that number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, 4\u2212(\u221210)=4+10=144 &#8211; (-10) = 4 + 10 = 14<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the value of 4\u2212(\u221210)4 &#8211; (-10) is 14. This is because subtracting a negative number effectively changes the operation to addition. Therefore, 4+104 + 10 equals 14, and that is the result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consider the expression 4 &#8211; (-10).a.
