Question 6 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)(01.02 MC)Which statement best explains the value of 17 - (-3)The additive inverse of -3 is -3, so 17 - (-3) = 20.The additive inverse of -3 is +3, so 17 -(-3) = 20.The additive inverse of -3 is -3, so 17 - (-3) = 14.The additive inverse of -3 is +3, so 17 - (-3) = 14.

Answer:Option B) The additive inverse of -3 is +3, so[tex]17 -(-3) = 20.[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:We are given the following expression in the question:[tex]17 - (-3)[/tex]Additive Inverse:The additive inverse of a number a is the number when added to the original numbers it gives a sum of zero. Let x be a number, then additive inverse of x is -x[tex]x + (-x) = 0[/tex]Additive Inverse of -3 is 3[tex]-3 + (3) = -3+3 = 0[/tex]Option B) correctly explains the given statement.[tex]17-(-3) = 17+3 = 20[/tex]Opion B) The additive inverse of -3 is +3, so[tex]17 -(-3) = 20.[/tex]
