Question

-3 + (-8) how can i do this

Answer 1

Answer: -11

Step-by-step explanation:

+(-8) can be simplified to -8 because when you multiply a positive sign by a negative sign, the outcome is a negative sign. So your problem is -3-8= and the answer is -11 because when two numbers with the same sign are subtracted/added by each other, the numbers just get added and the sign stays the same. If you're still confused, use a number line. Hope this helps!
