Question

Evaluate: 8 - 9+(-2)

Answer 1

Evaluate : 8 - 9 + (-2)



8-9= -1 (because if you take away 9 from 8, you will end up with a negative number since there isn’t enough to take away.)

-1 + -2 = -3 (this is because when you are adding two negative numbers together, you will basically just add -1 and -2 as you would normally, then you would transfer the negative sign as well to make it -3)

Finally, your answer to this question is -3.
