Question

-48.6 - 13.4

Explanation:

Step1: Combine the negative numbers

We can rewrite the subtraction of a positive number as adding its negative. So, \(-48.6 - 13.4 = - (48.6 + 13.4)\)

Step2: Add the numbers inside the parentheses

Calculate \(48.6 + 13.4\). \(48.6 + 13.4 = 62\)

Step3: Apply the negative sign

Since we had a negative sign outside the parentheses, the result is \(-62\)

Answer:

\(-62\)
