yeah.. i think that would be the answer….

yes u subract (but its because the 8 is positive)…which means

dont forget.. u could ask ur parents for help too! and if u think u have the right answer and when its check the next school day and its wrong ask the teacher if u don’t understand why….

Hope this helps!!

P.S. 100% correct… (i believe..)
