Evaluate -15 + (-4)

OpenStudy (jackellyn):

A positive and a negative make a negative so -15 + (-4) = -15-4 = what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guest is -11

OpenStudy (jackellyn):

when you subtract two negatives the answer is MORE negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no because it's -15 PLUS negative 4... try it again :)

or you can try it like this,.... since there are two negatives... you can make them positive and add them... so 15+4=??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but remember since it is negative, the answer will be negative, so add a negative sign in front of ur answer :)
