Does a negative number and a positive number equal a negative number?
Not necessarily. If the quantity of the negative number is more than the positive number, then the answer will be both numbers' difference with the sign of the negative number since it is greater. If the positive number is greater, then the operations are vice versa ( backwards)
How can you decide if the sum of two numbers is positive negative or zero without calculating the sum?
The sum of two negative numbers is positive and the sum of two negatives is negative. If you have both positive and negative numbers the sum can be either so look at the absolute value. If the negative number has a greater absolute value, the sum is negative. If the positive number has a greater absolute value the sum is positive. If the absolute values are equal, the sum is zero.
