Find
a. Subtracting 4 is the same as adding $\boxed{(-4)}$
b. Subtracting -7 is the same as adding $\boxed{(7)}$
c. Subtracting a positive number is the same as adding a
\boxed{negative} number, where that $\boxed{?}$ is opposite of the original number
d. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a
$\boxed{?}$ number, where that $\boxed{?}$ is opposite of the original number
ok they are trying to teach about using counters to add
but $\boxed{?}$ was kinda on of those boolean confusions
