wow you are smart thanks
when the signs are both positive, you add them (even if their both negative. When the signs are different, you subtract and take the sign of the biggest number.
whoa that sounds familiar thanks
u are in deed a lifesaver
can you do this one.... -4 + (-4) ? remember, the signs are both negative
oh thats right
do you know the answer ?
yes
tell me
ok -4
oh wait
oops
whoa kinda hard....
wrong.... -4 + (-4) = - 8 if the signs are the same, you add them and use that sign. if they are different... -10 + 5 = - 5 (you subtract, and take the sign of the biggest number
why do i suck so much in math? im great in every other class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok makes sence...
don't fret....math is not my best subject either. You really just need to learn the simple rules... Don't get confused...because multiplying/dividing and adding/subtracting rules are not the same
- plus - = - + plus - = - + plus + = +
any questions ?
um hold up still computing
just remember, if the signs are the same, you add them and use that sign. If the signs are different, you subtract and take the sign of the biggest number.
ok got it and no more questions
you are smart....you can understand this. I wish you luck :)
