myininaya · Answer

ok well first do you know how to add -4 and 8?

lisa2345 · Answer

it's 12

myininaya · Answer

-4+8=4                    8-4=4 
-4-8=-12                 -8-4=-12
4+8=12                     8+4=12
4-8=-4                      -8+4=-4

myininaya · Answer

-4+8 is 4
because we have to subtract 8 and 4 because one of them has a - while the one has a +
8-4=4

myininaya · Answer

|4| means you need to calculate the distance that 4 is from 0
how many units is 4 from 0?
