Charlie said that + 103 - + 98 equals + 5. Is Charlie's answer reasonable? A. Yes, because if you start with 103 pencils and you take away 98 pencils you will be left with 5 pencils. The answer should be + 5. B. No, because 103 - 98 = 5. Because you are subtracting integers, the answer will be - 5. C. No, because any time you subtract a positive integer from a positive integer you will always get a positive integer. The answer should be + 5.
