Answer 1

1) (-33) - (-33) = (-33) + 33 = 33 - 33 = 0;

2) 5 - (-95) = 5 + 95 = 100;

3) (-32) - (+32) = (-32) - 32 = -64;

4) (+72) - (-7) = 72 + 7 = 79;

5) (+22) - 22 = 22 - 22 = 0;

6) 37 - (+26) = 37 - 26 = 11;

7) (-17) - 83 = -100;

8) (-8) - (-92) = (-8) + 92 = 92 - 8 = 84;

9) (-54) - (+25) = (-54) - 25 = -79;

12) (+41) - 0 = 41 - 0 = 41.

Answer 2

Let's solve each of these subtraction problems step by step:

1. (-33) - (-33): When subtracting a negative number, it is equivalent to adding the positive counterpart of that number. Therefore, (-33) - (-33) becomes (-33) + 33 = 0.

2. 5 - (-95): Again, we have a subtraction of a negative number. Subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding the positive counterpart. Thus, 5 - (-95) becomes 5 + 95 = 100.

3. -32 - (+32): Subtracting a positive number is the same as adding its negative counterpart. Therefore, -32 - (+32) becomes -32 + (-32) = -64.

4. +72 - (-7): Similar to the previous examples, we subtract a negative number by adding its positive counterpart. Thus, +72 - (-7) becomes +72 + 7 = 79.

5. (+22) - 22: Here, we subtract 22 from 22. The result is 0.

6. 37 - (+26): Subtracting a positive number is equivalent to adding its negative counterpart. Thus, 37 - (+26) becomes 37 + (-26) = 11.

7. (-17) - 83: We subtract 83 from -17. This can be rewritten as (-17) + (-83) = -100.

8. -8 - (-92): Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart. Therefore, -8 - (-92) becomes -8 + 92 = 84.

9. (-54) - (+25): Subtracting a positive number is the same as adding its negative counterpart. Hence, (-54) - (+25) becomes (-54) + (-25) = -79.

10. +43 - (-43): Subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding its positive counterpart. So, +43 - (-43) becomes +43 + 43 = 86.

11. 0 - (-1): Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its positive counterpart. Thus, 0 - (-1) becomes 0 + 1 = 1.

12. (+41) - 0: Subtracting 0 from any number will yield the number itself. Therefore, (+41) - 0 is equal to +41.
