The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem "On subtracting 4 from -4, we get", we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the numbers involved**: We have -4 (which is negative four) and 4 (which is positive four). 2. **Set up the subtraction**: The operation we need to perform is -4 - 4. This means we are subtracting 4 from -4. 3. **Understand the operation**: Subtracting a positive number from a negative number will result in a more negative number. 4. **Perform the subtraction**: \[ -4 - 4 = - (4 + 4) = -8 \] Here, we add the absolute values of the numbers (4 and 4) which gives us 8, and then we apply the negative sign. 5. **Final result**: Therefore, on subtracting 4 from -4, we get -8. ### Final Answer: -8 ---
