Which statement best explains the value of 18 βˆ’ (βˆ’5)?
The additive inverse of βˆ’5 is +5, so 18 βˆ’ (βˆ’5) = 23.
The additive inverse of βˆ’5 is βˆ’5, so 18 βˆ’ (βˆ’5) = 23.
The additive inverse of βˆ’5 is βˆ’5, so 18 βˆ’ (βˆ’5) = 13.

The additive inverse of βˆ’5 is +5, so 18 βˆ’ (βˆ’5) = 23.
The first option, b/c the A.I of -5 would be +5, therefore 18--5, which is 18+5, would be 23.
