Problem 66
Question
Simplify each series of additions and subtractions. $$-1.9-3-(-0.26)$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
-4.64
1Step 1: Basic Subtraction
Start by subtracting 3 from -1.9. To do this, consider the negative sign in front of 1.9 as a negative, giving \( -1.9 - 3 = -4.9 \). This is the result after performing the initial subtraction.
2Step 2: Handling the Negative Subtraction
The next part of the problem involves subtracting -0.26. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number; this means we add 0.26 to -4.9. So, \( -4.9 - (-0.26) = -4.9 + 0.26 \). After performing this operation, the result is \( -4.64 \).
3Step 3: Final Result
The final result after all the operations are performed is -4.64.
