think of it this way.
If you add a negative to a negative you get MORE negative.
Also, -x+-x=-2x because +- always will be a negative in the end unless it is +--

Answer 13

Sort of think of adding numbers on the number line. That might help to visualize. If you think of negative numbers kind of like being in debt, you might say:

I owe Kathy 3 dollars and I owe John 5 dollars, so overall I owe 8 dollars, which is all negative money.
