Chapter 1: Problem 21

Perform the indicated subtraction. $$13-(-13)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The result of the operation \(13 - (-13)\) is 26.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Operation

The operation to be performed is subtraction. However, we are subtracting a negative number, which means we will actually add.
02

Perform the Operation

Now that it is clear that the operation is addition instead of subtraction, the operation can be rewritten as \(13 + 13\).
03

Add the Numbers

Now, just add the numbers together to get the final result. \(13 + 13 = 26\)
