How do I work this out? t-(-4)=-15?

This is one of my math problems for school and i don't understand how to work it out. It's a subtraction property of equality. please help me.How do I work this out? t-(-4)=-15?
the two negatives when multiplied (which is what the parenthesis tell you to do) equal a positive, so you'd have:


t + 4 = -15





Then you subtract 4 (the opposite of what it is now) to both sides, which leaves t = -15-4 or t = -19How do I work this out? t-(-4)=-15?
the negatives cancle themselves out. so it would become T+4=-15...and from there you need to subtract 4 from each side .......


T+4=-15


T-4=-4


T= -19 is your answer





:]
r u trying to find what the variable t is?? because t would be -19
wrong section but ill help you








t-(-4)=-15


t+4=-15 since your subtracting a negative number you have to


make it positive


t=-19 then you would subtract 4 from both sides which gets you the answer
