(i) 115 and 114
We have:
115+114=115+4=119
Hence, the answer is 119
(ii) 8−3 and 85
We have:
8−3+85=8−3+5=82
Hence, the answer is 82
(iii) 13−6 and 138
We have:
13−6+138=13−6+8=132
Hence, the answer is 132
(iv) 15−8 and 15−7
We have:
15−8+15−7=15(−8)+(−7)=15−15
Hence, the answer is 15−15
(v) 20−13 and 2017
We have:
20−13+2017=20−13+17=204
Hence, the answer is 204
(vi) 8−3 and −85
First, express −85 with a positive denominator:
−85=−8×(−1)5×(−1)=8−5
Now, add the numbers:
8−3+8−5=8(−3)+(−5)=8−8
Hence, the answer is 8−8
