Respuesta :

Answer:

Kaleb took the additive inverse of the first integer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subtraction: 6 - 17, can be changed to: 6 + (-17), adding the additive inverse (the minus sign of the subtraction changes to a plus sign, and 17 changes to its additive inverse, -17).

Kaleb transforms: 6 - 17, into: -6 + 17. He took the additive inverse of the first integer, instead of the second one.
