Well, isn't that a happy little math problem we have here? When you add a negative number like -8 to a positive number like 15, you can think of it as moving in different directions on a number line. So, when you add them together, you get 7. Just like adding a touch of bright color to a painting, adding these numbers together brings a positive result.

What is -4 plus -3 plus -8 plus 3 plus 9?

Now 3+9=12So we need to as 12 to -15 which is the same as 12-15 or -3.When you add negative numbers you can just add them like positives then place the negative sign in front of you answer. Adding a positive and a negative is like subtracting the negative one from the positive one. That is what I did.

Because you are adding a negative to another negative. If the problem was -7+8= 1. Because you are taking seven out of that eight. If It were to be multiplication than a negative TIMES a negative would have been a positive(-8 x -7=56). And a negative TIMES a positive would be a negative (-8 x 7=-56).
