Using your knowledge of inverse operations, what does [tex]$268 + 141 - 268$[/tex] equal?

A. 268
B. [tex]-141[/tex]
C. [tex]-268[/tex]
D. 141

Answer :

To solve the expression [tex]\( 268 + 141 - 268 \)[/tex], we can use the concept of inverse operations, which are operations that undo each other. In this expression:

1. Start with the number 268.
2. Add 141 to 268. This gives us [tex]\( 268 + 141 = 409 \)[/tex].
3. Now, subtract 268 from the result. Since adding 268 and then subtracting 268 cancels each other out (as they are inverse operations), you are left with just 141.

So, the simplified result of the expression [tex]\( 268 + 141 - 268 \)[/tex] is 141. Therefore, the correct answer is 141.
