Question

If a and bare negative, then a + b is also negative.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: -2+-5

It can also be written as -2-5.

How I do these problems, I do 2+5, which is 7. Then I add a negative sign. So -2+-5 or -2-5 is equal to -7.

-a+-b can also be written as -a-b. So yes, if a and bare negative, then a + b is also negative.

hope it helps!
