Verify $a-( -b)=a+b$ for $a=21,\ b=18$.


Given: $a=21,\ b=18$.

To do: To verify $a-( -b)=a+b$ for $a=21,\ b=18$

Solution:


$L.H.S.=a-( -b)$

$=21-( -18)$                                     [on substituting values $a=21,\ b=18$]

$=21+18$

$=39$

$R.H.S.=a+b$

$=21+18$

$=39$

Thus, $L.H.S.=R.H.S.$

Hence verified $a-( -b)=a+b$.
