Question

Which of the following would produce a negative sum?
–8 + 9
–14 + –6
43 + ( –30 )

Answer 1

@rav can you help please

Answer 2

The second answer. To produce a negative answer, the negative term would have to be bigger than the positive one.

Answer 3

-8 + 9 = 1 ; since 9 is the larger number and it is positive.
43+ (-30) = 13; 13 is the larger number, and is positive.

Answer 4

-14 + -6 this one

Answer 5

Basically the answer is going to get the sign of the larger number, if that makes sense. :)
