Answer 2

$\huge\boxed{\bf{Process:}}$

${\boxed {\bold {18p+\ 2p=\ 20p}}}}}$

${\boxed {\bold {+89\ -79=\ +10}}}}}$

${\huge{\underline{\boxed{\purple{\mathcal{ANSWER:}}}}}}$

$\:\:\:\huge\color{}\boxed{\colorbox{}{20p+10}}$

$\frak{\pmb{\underline\green{NOTE:}}}$ 89 is greater than 79 and it was positive, so 10 is positive and not negative, that's fine.

➥ I hope I have helped you, greetings!
