how would i do that?

It's C.

11

Answer 14

Negative - a positive is positive.

Answer 15

so after you do the math, you get 11 and because it is not a negative, you don't have to worry about making the change to the absolute value of a number

Answer 16

For example,

-11 + 3 = -8

Because the negative number has more value then the positive..
Therefore the sum is negative.
