Certainly! Let's break these down step-by-step:
### Part (a): [tex]\( 5 - 23 \)[/tex]
1. Start with the number 5.
2. Subtract 23 from 5.
3. [tex]\( 5 - 23 \)[/tex] results in [tex]\(-18\)[/tex].
### Part (b): [tex]\( (-17) + 39 \)[/tex]
1. Start with [tex]\(-17\)[/tex].
2. Add 39 to [tex]\(-17\)[/tex].
3. [tex]\((-17) + 39\)[/tex] results in [tex]\(22\)[/tex].
### Part (c): [tex]\( 58 - 75 \)[/tex]
1. Start with 58.
2. Subtract 75 from 58.
3. [tex]\( 58 - 75 \)[/tex] results in [tex]\(-17\)[/tex].
### Part (d): [tex]\( (-21) - 17 \)[/tex]
1. Start with [tex]\(-21\)[/tex].
2. Subtract 17 from [tex]\(-21\)[/tex].
3. [tex]\((-21) - 17\)[/tex] results in [tex]\(-38\)[/tex].
Here are the solutions summarized:
- a) [tex]\( 5 - 23 = -18 \)[/tex]
- b) [tex]\( (-17) + 39 = 22 \)[/tex]
- c) [tex]\( 58 - 75 = -17 \)[/tex]
- d) [tex]\( (-21) - 17 = -38 \)[/tex]
Thus, the answers are:
- Part (a): [tex]\(-18\)[/tex]
- Part (b): [tex]\(22\)[/tex]
- Part (c): [tex]\(-17\)[/tex]
- Part (d): [tex]\(-38\)[/tex]
