Does a positive plus a positive plus a negative make a positive?
If you add a positive number, another positive number, and a negative number, you can get anything - the result may be positive, negative, or zero. It all depends on the magnitudes of the numbers involved. For example: 10 + 10 - 1 = 19 (positive) 5 + 5 - 10 = 0 (zero) 5 + 6 - 20 = -9 (negative)
