If one of the numbers you're trying to find the sum of is negative then do the following.

First, find the absolute values for both of the numbers then subtract the smaller amount from the larger amount. Then give the sign from the larger amount.

Find the absolute values of -7 and 5.

|-7| = 7
|5| = 5

Subtract 5 from 7.

7 - 5 = 2

7 is the larger number and it had a negative sign.

So, the answer is -2.

Answer:

153,997 Labrador Retrievers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make an equation for this problem. We know that there were 9,860 Great Danes. The number of Labrador Retrievers was 6,997 more than 15 times the number of registered Great Danes. More than can be changed to a plus sign. 15 times the number of Great Danes is 15 times 9,860. The equation is now 15*9,860 + 6,997.

15*9,860 is 147,900

147,900 + 6,997 is 153,997.
