What is the outcome when a negative plus a positive?
When a negative number is added to a positive number, the outcome depends on the relative magnitudes of the two numbers. If the positive number is larger, the result will be positive; if the negative number is larger, the result will be negative. If they are equal in magnitude, the result will be zero. In essence, the sum moves towards the larger absolute value.

If the negative number is a bigger number, the answer will be negative. Conversely, if the positive number is bigger, the answer will be positive. -20+10= -10 (larger negative number) -10+20=10 (larger positive number)
