We are given statement " gained 20 pounds and loses 15 pounds".

<em>Note: We take plus or positive sign for gain word and we take minus or negative sign for the loses word.</em>

Gained 20 means +20.

Loses 15 mean -15.

Therefore, we can setup an expression as:

20 is a positive number and 15 is a negative number.

Because we have opposite signs of numbers, we would subtract them.

20-15 = 5 pounds.
