Math Problem Statement

(-15-6) binary addition

Perform binary subtraction of (-15 - 6) using two's complement.

Solution

The image contains a request to perform binary addition of 15-15 and 66. To do this, let's first convert the decimal numbers to their binary form and then perform the addition.

Steps:

  1. Convert the decimal numbers 15-15 and 66 to binary:

    • Binary of 66 is straightforward: 610=11026_{10} = 110_2.
    • Binary of 15-15 will be represented using the two's complement method in binary. We need to first convert 1515 to binary, then take its two's complement.
  2. Perform the addition in binary.

Let me work through this now.Here's the binary representation of the numbers:

  • 15-15 in 8-bit two's complement is: 11110001.
  • 66 in binary is: 00000110.

After performing binary addition, the result is 9-9, which in 8-bit two's complement is: 11110111.

Summary:

  • 15-15 in binary: 11110001
  • 66 in binary: 00000110
  • 9-9 in binary: 11110111
