Question

What is `-63+(-60)+(-16)`?

Answer 1

`-63-60-16 =-139`

Explanation:

Adding integers is done easiest by collecting all the terms with the same signs together first.
In this case we are adding three negative integers. The number of negatives gets more.

On a number line this is the same as starting from 0, counting 63 to the left, another 60 to the left and then 16 more to the left.
This gives `-139`

#-63 -60 -16
