Step-by-step solution

Let's remember the rule:

(+x)=x -(+x)=-x

Now let's write the exercise in the appropriate form:

0.973.34= -0.97-3.34=

Since we are subtracting a smaller number from a larger number, the result will necessarily be negative.

We'll connect the two numbers but won't forget that the final result is with a minus sign:

0.97+3.344.31 0.97\\+3.34\\4.31

In other words:

0.973.34=4.31 -0.97-3.34=-4.31

Final Answer

4.31 -4.31
