Explain the different ways it is possible to add two rational numbers and get a negative number

snow_lady [41]

Answer:
both numbers are negative
negative number is greater than the positive number

Explanation:
In order to add two rational numbers and get a negative value, one of two scenarios should occur:
1- both numbers are negative.
In this case, the answer would definitely be negative as the two numbers are originally negative
Examples:
-9 + -2 = -9 - 2 = -11
$\frac{-1}{2} + \frac{-3}{2} = \frac{-4}{2} = -2$

2- negative number is greater than the positive number
In this case, the negative sign would dominate and the result would be negative
Examples:
-9 + 3 = -6
$\frac{-5}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{-3}{6}$

Hope this helps :)
