Question #e5c98

Answer 1

`3`

Explanation:

`8+(-5)`

On a number line this would read as:

"Go `8` to the right (positive) and then `5` to the left (negative)"

As the positive number is greater than the negative, you will still be in the positive part of the number line. You will end up at `3`

`8+(-5) = +3`

If there were more negatives, then the answer would be negative.

If you are adding numbers with different signs, keep the sign of the bigger number and subtract them.

`8+(-5) = 8-5 =3`
