What do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Think about the key word (below sea level)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

64 can be represented as -64 (below sea level)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since your adding two negatives. (-64 -2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your answer would be -66.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@frostite67890 it has to be D-62

OpenStudy (anonymous):

below sea level.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

itsd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-64 - -2 is -62

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tylermcmullen23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its -66. Because 64 is below sea level. which is -66. When subtracting negatives your going more negative so -64 -2 = -66

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when adding*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-64 + -2 is the same thing as -64 -2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
