First locate -3.
Then to add 7 you move 7 places to the right (and you will arrive at 4):

To find the sum of negative 65 and positive 41 using a number line, start at -65. Moving to the right (toward positive numbers) 41 units brings you to -24. Thus, the sum of negative 65 and positive 41 is -24.
A negative plus a negative still gives a negative answer.
The second step depends on what was done as the first step!

When you multiply a positive number (times plus) by a negative number (minus), the result is always negative. This is because the multiplication of a positive and a negative value reflects a reversal in direction on the number line, leading to a negative outcome. For example, 3 (positive) times -2 (negative) equals -6.

a negative number. think banking..... no money plus no money is ? Nothing (negative) "no money" would be zero, wouldn't it? Zero, or "nothing", is not negative. Still, a negative number plus a negative number is a negative number. minus X plus minus Y equals minus(X + Y).

Always.
The result is a negative number in this case.
