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

A. 268
B. -268
C. -141
D. 141

Answer :

We start with the expression:

[tex]$$268 + 141 - 268$$[/tex]

Notice that adding [tex]$268$[/tex] and then subtracting [tex]$268$[/tex] cancels out the [tex]$268$[/tex]:

[tex]$$268 - 268 = 0$$[/tex]

This leaves us with:

[tex]$$0 + 141 = 141$$[/tex]

Thus, the expression equals [tex]$141$[/tex], which corresponds to option d.
