OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iGreen. isnt 109 negative or is it positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Negative..but I'm not sure if you express it as a positive 75 or a negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I say 143. What I did is 109 + 34

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would go with 75..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I'm not sure.
