To add a positive and a negative number, first take the absoluter value of each number.
What is |8| ?
What is |-7| ?

Answer 4

idk

Answer 5

The absolute value of a number is simply the number with no sign.
|1| = 1
|-1| = 1
|0| = 0
The absolute value of zero is zero.
The absolute value of a positive number is just the number.
The absolute value of a negative number is the same number bu made positive.
Examples:
|-9| = 9
|-5| = 5
|0| = 0
|11| = 11

Answer 12

I'll do a similar problem with different numbers as an explanation.

Add -9 + 5
1. You are adding two numbers with different signs, a positive number, 5, to a negative number, -9.
2. First, take the absolute value of both numbers:
|-9| = 9
|5| = 5
3. Subtract the numbers the way you learned in elementary school. Subtract the smaller number from the larger number.
9 - 5 = 4
4. Now to decide whether the answer is positive or negative, look at the absolute values. The answer will have the same sign as the number that has the larger absolute value. Since 9 is greater than 5, the answer has the same sign the 9 has, which is negative, so the answer is -4.
5. -9 + 5 = -4
