OpenStudy (anonymous):

or is it keep change chnage

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well yes and no. since the first number is a negative and the second number is a positive and it is addition that means that the second number is going to bring the first number closer to zero and the positives.

An easy way to do these problems is to ignore the negative sign for a minute and subtract the original positive number from the original negative number. So 4.75-2.19=?
