Answer:

The sum is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When you add a negative number to a positive number, it is basically just subtracting the negative from the positive. To make it simple, 5 + -4 is just 5 - 4.

Hannah was wrong in saying you take the sign of the larger number because it would not matter if the first number was a million, the signs don't change based on the size of numbers.

Donna wants to decorate her bulletin board she has 38 meters of green ribbon to go around the bulletin board and she has to use
andreev551 [17]

If you are asking for the perimeter of the bulletin board the answer below will be correct!

Answer:

Square option: 9.5 Meters

Rectangle option: see explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter you must add the lengths of all the sides. Assuming the bulletin board is a SQUARE all four sides are going to be equal. Therefore you can divide 38 by 4 to get the length of one side (aka 9.5 meters).

Assuming the bulletin board is a RECTANGLE changes things up. You can pretty much pick any combination of numbers that will add up to 19 (because if it is a rectangle there are two pairs of equal side lengths). You could do 1 + 18, 5+14, 8+11. The options are really endless
