If you add a negative and a positive the answer (pos or neg) is that of the highest number. For example -13+ 3= -10 and -3 + 13 = 10.

In this situation a negative (-) plus a positive (+) can be either negative or positive depending on which number is greater.

Example: -10 + 5 = -5 because -10 is larger than 5 (even though that seems contradictory)

Example: -5 + 10 = 5 because 10 is larger than -5.
