Question

what is the sum of -12 and -8

Answer 1

-20

Answer 2

it is negative 20. always remember the rule keep change change. you have here negative 12 and sum means add and another negative # 8. u keep the negative 12 change the sum to subtract and change negative 8 to positive 8. u should get -12-8. look at it this way: draw a line and place -12 on the left side of the line and 8 on the right side since its postive, if -12 is subtracted from +8 the result will be -20 because u are still subtracting. if u add however u will get -4. hope i made any sense
