OpenStudy (jacobciezki):
You said you had to go to bed wait 10 minutes ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-12-15\] what do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or more to the point, how do you get the answer to \(-12-15\)?

-3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh i see we have a problem here
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to compute \[-12-15\] you would add \(12+15\) and then stick a minus sign in front of it
so
\[-12-15=-(12+15)=-27\]
OpenStudy (jacobciezki):
No its 27
OpenStudy (jacobciezki):
No your right

like if you spend $12 and then spend another $15 you have spent a total of $27
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but i dont have 27
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no you have a completely different problem
OpenStudy (jacobciezki):
No this was a sample
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you want to compute \[– 0.41 – 8.91\] how do you do it?
add \(0.41+8.91\) then put a minus sign in front of it
