QuestionIdentify the incorrect answer among the three math quiz questions and explain why.
1. 11+(7)=4-11+(-7)=-4
2. 29+(18)=1129+(-18)=11
3. 16+35=19-16+35=19

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The solutions provided for each question are as follows - QUESTION\#1 -11 + (-7) = -4 - QUESTION\#29 + (-18) =11 - QUESTION\#3 -16 +35 =19

STEP 2

We will verify the correctness of each solution by performing the operations given in the questions.

STEP 3

Let's start with QUESTION\#1. We need to add -11 and -7.
11+(7)-11 + (-7)

STEP 4

Perform the addition operation.
11+(7)=18-11 + (-7) = -18

STEP 5

Compare the calculated result with the provided solution for QUESTION\#1. The provided solution is -4, but our calculated result is -18. Therefore, the solution for QUESTION\#1 is incorrect.

STEP 6

Now, let's verify QUESTION\#2. We need to add29 and -18.
29+(18)29 + (-18)

STEP 7

Perform the addition operation.
29+(18)=1129 + (-18) =11

STEP 8

Compare the calculated result with the provided solution for QUESTION\#2. Both the provided solution and our calculated result are11. Therefore, the solution for QUESTION\#2 is correct.

STEP 9

Finally, let's verify QUESTION\#3. We need to add -16 and35.
16+35-16 +35

STEP 10

Perform the addition operation.
16+35=19-16 +35 =19

STEP 11

Compare the calculated result with the provided solution for QUESTION\#3. Both the provided solution and our calculated result are19. Therefore, the solution for QUESTION\#3 is correct.
The incorrect solution is QUESTION\#. The correct solution should be -18, not -4.
