11

Explanation:

Since a positive #(+)# plus a negative #(-)# is a negative #(-)#, We simply have an equation such as:

#35-24=?#

Now simply solve for your answer:

#35-24=11#

Always follow the rules of PEMDAS (if you use something other than PEMDAS that's fine as well).

PEMDAS stands for:

  • Parenthesis (ALWAYS start with parenthesis).
  • Exponents (if applicable).
  • Multiplication (if applicable).
  • Division (if applicable).
  • Addition (if applicable).
  • and Subtraction (if applicable, in this case it is needed).
