If the absolute value of a negative number is greater than the absolute value of a positive number, then on addition we will get a negative number.
e.g.
-4 + 1 = -3
If absolute value of positive number is greater, then the result is positive.
e.g.
5 + (-4) = 1
Adding a negative number to a negative number makes a larger negative. In order to solve this you add the numbers together as a positive then add a negative sign.
Negative 8 plus 10 equals 2. When you add a positive number to a negative number, you can think of it as subtracting the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. In this case, 10 minus 8 equals 2.
A negative plus a negative equals a more negative number. For example, if you add -3 and -5, the result is -8. This is because you are effectively decreasing the value further into the negative.
Negative three plus seven equals four. When you add a positive number to a negative number, you subtract the absolute value of the negative from the positive. In this case, 7 - 3 equals 4.
Positive 0.75 plus negative 0.25 equals 0.50. When you add a positive number to a negative number, you effectively subtract the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. In this case, 0.75 - 0.25 equals 0.50.
When it comes to numbers (this question was asked in the "Math and Arithmetic" category), adding a negative number to a positive number always equals a negative number.
16 plus negative 4 equals 12. When you add a negative number, it's the same as subtracting that number from the positive one. Therefore, 16 - 4 equals 12.
Negative 1 plus positive 5 equals positive 4. When you add a negative number to a positive number, you effectively subtract the absolute value of the negative number from the positive number. In this case, 5 - 1 equals 4.
210
-93 plus 84 equals -9, which is negative. When you add a smaller positive number (84) to a larger negative number (-93), the result remains negative.
26, in that situation just add the negative number to the answer to find the variable
Let's call the number x. x-25=-51. Add 25 to both sides. You get x=-26. The number is negative 26.
