The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of subtracting -134 from the sum of 38 and -87, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the sum of 38 and -87 We start by adding 38 and -87 together. \[ 38 + (-87) = 38 - 87 \] ### Step 2: Calculate 38 - 87 Now we perform the subtraction: \[ 38 - 87 = -49 \] ### Step 3: Subtract -134 from -49 Next, we need to subtract -134 from -49. This can be written as: \[ -49 - (-134) \] ### Step 4: Change the subtraction of a negative to addition When we subtract a negative number, it is the same as adding its positive counterpart: \[ -49 + 134 \] ### Step 5: Calculate -49 + 134 Now we perform the addition: \[ -49 + 134 = 85 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{85} \] ---
